Cubbie Blue and his Dog Dot
This children’s story by Randa Handler involves a boy from a
species of tiny people living in Antarctica and having special powers. Cubbie
Blue disobeys his father and uses a transport device before he is taught to use
it safely. Fortunately, his dog is with
him and can help him when they land in a city full of humans.
Three boys become friends to Cubbie and Dot and help them
survive while they look for a way back to their own people. This story can be used as a launching pad for
discussions with children about being friends with those who are different--in
size, color, or culture. The boys have to
solve lots of problems, too, offering even more lessons for young readers.
Color illustrations help the reader visualize the story.
I received a free copy of this book from the author for
review.
