Hest, Amy and Illustrated by Denos, Julia
Letters to Leo 160 pgs. CHAPTER BOOK. Candlewick,
2012. $12.70. (Rating: G)
Annie’s father
finally let her have a dog, so she decides to keep a sort of journal –a collection of hidden notes
to Leo, her dog. The letters detail advice to Leo, how her day went, what
her dad is up to, and the ups and downs of school life.
This was a quirky,
cute, and original book. I think students will love the variety of text, the
illustrations, the stories, the pet dog element, and mostly how close this
format makes a reader feel to the narrator and their life.
