1. Last Dog On The Hill by Steve Duno. Flashman salutes the life of an exceptional dog. Driving through the Redwood forest Steve Duno met up with the dog that would change his life. Lou was wild and vermin infested. Steve picked up the pup and took him home to LA. It was a good move. Lou was one of those one in a million dogs

3. To Fetch A Thief by Spencer Quinn. Flashman enjoys a detective story and Chet is one of the best. Chet must find a missing elephant and his trainer, there should be a serious scent trail! He has some help from his human partner, Bernie, but Chet is the star. Found in the mystery section.

5. Born to Bark by Stanley Coren is a memoir about sharing his life with a mischievous terrier, a state akin to living inside a tornado. Stanely Coren has a string of well regarded books on the way dogs think. He is a respected member of academia. Yet he can be just as besotted with his canine pal as the rest of us. Flint was a Cairn Terrier, a breed full of zest. He was Stanley Coren’s companion and friend for many years. The story of their life together is funny, challenging, inspiring, and a great read for those gifted with a love of dogs. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

7. Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk by David Sedaris. Flashman likes a good chuckle, Sedaris is a very funny guy.

9. Tell The Truth B.B. Wolf by Judy Sierra. B.B Wolf is invited to tell his side of the story of the 3 little pigs. He is not the hero so he decides to spin it to make himself look better (just like the guys on the nightly news). The 3 pigs call him out and BB Wolf learns to own up to his misdeeds, tell the truth, say I’m sorry, and make amends. Great lessons. Found in the children’s section.
