Product Description
Out in space, on the other side of the sun, is the Planet Of The Dogs. Dogs have always lived there in peace and happiness. One day many years ago, the council of the elder dogs learned that there were problems on Earth, the Planet of the People. Many people had forgotten how to love and had become mean and greedy. The good people of Green Valley were threatened by the warrior tribes of Stone City. The council realized that they needed help. This is the story of the first time dogs came to planet earth to teach people about love and to bring peace to Green Valley.
My Review: This is a sweet book for children who are animal lovers (which includes most of them). It is a story of how dogs came to our planet from the Planet of Dogs. It is a book which very much praises dogs – their ability to love us unconditionally, protect us, and enjoy being around us. It highlights dogs’ innate intelligence. The book is intense at times, but the dogs are definitely the heroes. Boys and girls alike would like this book because it is about a family. The age of interest for this book I would put at 8-11 years. It would make a great read aloud for family and/or classroom.
