The Dog Who Cried Wolf


The Dog Who Cried Wolf was written by Keiko Kasza. This delightful book does have an Accelerated Reader quiz. It is only worth .5 points. The Dog Who Cried Wolf takes place in the comfortable home of his owner Michelle. Moka, the dog, sits with Michelle reading a book about wolves. Moka begins to dream about living the life of a wolf. He leaves his comfortable home to become a wolf. He trys to catch dinner but it either gets away or makes fun of him. Lastly he howls at the moon and a family of wolves answer his call. Moka hightails it back home and runs into the arms of Michelle.

MY TWO CENTS WORTH:
This is a delightful book about a dog who wants to discover his roots. There have been those times in my life when I thought about my life and wanted to run in the other direction. Like Moka, one thinks life would be better on top of the mountain with the wolves; however, the reality is life is pretty good right where you are. Life isn't always greener on the other side of the mountain, its just a different kind of grass.

AR QUIZ: 100% :)
