Rich's 2011 Top Ten List for Children 4-8

Rich’s 2011 Top Ten list for Children 4-8 is topped by an extraordinarily gorgeous book set to the words of Dylan’s Blowin In The Wind.   Saving Audie, #2 on the list, is an important book.  Children can look up to the wrong heroes so easily, Michael Vicks is again playing football and making big bucks.  He is the worst kind of role model.  A better role model for a hero would be the dogs who endured his outrageous cruelty yet still learned to love and forgive.  Saving Audie is the story of one of Vicks dogs who now lives with a loving family.  It is an uplifting story of rescue.  The Three Bears of the Northwest is a quintessentially northwestern story with great art.
