Synopsis

As praised in the #1 bestselling book Al Franken, Giant of the Senate by Al Franken

From New York's Staten Island Ferry to a double-decker bus in Washington, DC, a delightful service dog, named Tuesday, narrates this fun and exciting journey with his disabled veteran partner to a very special place.
 
Tuesday and Luis, an Iraq War veteran, must travel by boat, bus, train, horse, pedicab and more as they race from New York City to the countryside outside the nation's capitol for an important event. Along the way, they see many famous sites, share hilarious and touching adventures, and show young readers (along with their teachers and parents) how trained service dogs help people with disabilities. Full of beautiful photos of this loveable Golden Retriever and his best friend, Tuesday Takes Me There continues the bestselling true story of a wounded veteran and the dog that saved him.

From School Library Journal:

K-Gr 2—Another charming tale of service dog Tuesday and his owner Montalván. In this title, Tuesday and Montalván, a 17-year army veteran who now advocates for veterans with disabilities, travel to a variety of tourist sites in the New York City and Washington, DC, area. Tuesday is the narrator throughout the story, explaining how she supports Montalván from morning to night. Dion's great photographs show the duo having fun throughout the trip. The work highlights key attractions in each city. It is definitely a whirlwind tour: Tuesday and Montalván ride 12 forms of transportation and eventually end up in a library—just in time for storytime. Montalván read his book to an audience of children while Tuesday sleeps. A website that includes activity sheets for teachers is featured. Young readers in need of information about service dogs or reassurance about post-traumatic stress disorder will appreciate the light tone of this book. VERDICT A general purchase for dog lovers and fans of Tuesday.—Dorcas Hand, Annunciation Orthodox School, Houston, TX
