Holiday Break Reading Challenge Activity #12

Animals Animals Animals
We've had to deal with the after-effects of a blizzard for several days now.  It has really made me think about my poor little dog.  Ellie is 14-years-old and has always been an outside dog, but with this cold and snowy weather I've wanted so badly to bring her in the house.


I mean, look at that pretty, little face.  But, in the end, I didn't bring her in, thinking it might do more damage than good.  How would she handle the cold after she got used to the temperature of the house?  Plus, the poor thing, wouldn't know how to behave in the house.  She'd probably FREAK OUT.  

All this rambling leads me to our Activity.  Think back on all the books you've read dealing with animals.  What are your favorites.  You can choose one or more than one.  It doesn't matter to me.  BUT, please make these REAL animals.  No werewolves or other fantastical creatures.

1. On your blog, list the book cover(s) with author information.

2. Use Mr. Linky to link back to the Holiday Break Reading Challenge blog.


My choices are:
WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS by Wilson Rawls




















Now, it is your turn.
