Nubs: The True Story of
a Mutt, a Marine, & a Miracle
by Major Brian Dennis
Kirby Larson & Mary Nethery
48 pages
This is a wonderful picture book for children. Nubs details the rescue of an Iraqi mutt by an American marine. This is a truly heartwarming story, refreshing in its ability to transcend global and political borders. It offers a great opportunity for a shared experience between a parent and child that will open a dialogue about compassion and caring. It speaks to the souls of all dog lovers and, in a special way, to those who have taken a rescue dog into their life.
That's my five cents worth. I give Nubs a tail wagging "five nickels rating."
