This is a book you would both love, and you can read it out loud to your boys. They would probably like it too (my girls do), but I love it more. I think it is about a 15 minute out-loud read with pictures and everything. It's one of those adult books disguised as a children's book.
The book is by Haven Kimmel, published by Clarion Books.
I can't say much about the book without "giving it away", but it is about an abandoned dog and it ends up happy, in a poignant sort of way. (Sorry for using that word twice this week)Here's the line near the end I love so much...
And Orville wished he could say to people,
"There are ways to slip free of a chain."
But all he could do was watch them.
Give it a read, and let me know what you think.
