Book 569: The Legend of the Bluebonnet
The Legend of the Bluebonnet, by Tomie DePaola, Penguin Books, 1983.
This is a lovely, lovely book. My son read it for a First Grade class last year, and it might have been a little advanced for him then. But now, it is perfect for him. In fact, it is just perfect.

Book 567: Buddy, the First Seeing Eye Dog
Buddy: The First Seeing Eye Dog, by Eva Moore, illustrated by Don Bolognese, Scholastic Book 1996.
This is a delightful true-life story for a second-grader. My second-grader was impressed with the friendships in this book: The friendship between Kiss and Gala, and the friendship between Kiss (now Buddy) and Morris.
The illustrations are tender and action-packed, and add so much to the text.
The only thing that didn't quite make sense was the title. Buddy was the first seeing eye dog in the US, but she wasn't the first seeing eye dog.
