About the Author
Donna M. Jackson is an award-winning author of many nonfiction books for young readers. Her work includes The Bone Detectives, The Name Game and, most recently, The Elephant Scientist -- named a 2012 Robert F. Sibert Honor book, a 2012 Boston Globe-Horn Book Nonfiction Honor Book, and an NSTA/CBC Outstanding Science Trade book. She lives with her husband, Charlie, and their family near the Colorado's Rocky Mountains.
From Booklist
Gr. 2-5. Heroic and helpful dogs are the subject of the accounts in this timely photo-essay. Most of the book focuses on dogs involved in the 9/11 catastrophe, ending with a poignant account of a bomb-sniffing dog's death in one of the towers. Other sections introduce dogs that work in other ways--as companions, for example. The stories are all interesting, but many of the photographs are small, dark, or fuzzy, and the captions are in a typeface that is so small it isn't easy to read. The two-book bibliography is also disappointing. This isn't as nicely executed as Jackson's The Bone Detectives (1996), but it does provide a useful way to approach the events of 9/11 with children, and the furry, four-footed topic is likely to make it popular.
