| Lucky Charm's March Picks |
|
| Hi! It's me, Lucky Charm! Look for me in the paper next week. Thanks to all of you Wild Burro animal lovers, Tonia's Animal Sanctuary will be able to buy a couple of hundred pounds of dogfood for the pups that are looking for homes. Brett for the Star stopped by and he took a picture of me giving Tonia the check. Well...mom handed over the check, because after all, I don't have thumbs. But I am in the picture!
This week my pick is The Captain's Dog by Roland Smith. Seaman, a Newfoundland with unhappy beginnings met a man by the name of Meriwether Lewis and embarks on a great journey across the United States. Great for kids with any interest in dogs and/or history. Age 10 and up.
Lucky Charm.

Hi Everyone - I thought I might elaborate on LC's picks a little. The book club read Pocketful of Names awhile ago and we all loved it. If you haven't read it - come on down and pick up a copy. The story is about an artist living a solitary life off the coast of Maine, until she finds a big black lab that apparently swam to the island from...somewhere. The dog was the first of many visitors and revellations that change her life.
Change Your Mind and Your Life will Follow, seems like a good philosophy to me - one that I believe. It's another one of those 12 step types of approaches to change, but sometimes keeping things simple works. The first tenet is to "Tend Your Garden," which is actually (and coincidently) what I wrote down for my new year's resolution (which was explore the world and tend my garden.) Hmmmm....I'm taking this copy home with me.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days, by Jeff Kinney is for kids 8-10 years old that have a sense of humor. The book is literally the diary of a kid. This time our hero is on summer vacation. His words, "For me, summer vacation is basically a three-month guilt trip. Just because the weather's nice, everyone expects you to be outside all day "frolicking" or whatever. And if you don't spend every second outdoors, people think there's something wrong with you. But the truth is, I've always been more of an indoor person."
