I read this book while doing observation in a second grade class. The teacher asked me to read with one of her excellerated readers. We partner read the book over a period of time, each time I observed their class.

The story is about a boy who finds a beagel who has been abused by it's owner. After finding out who the owner was the boy was forced to return him, but the dog ran away from home back to Mark, the boy. Mark tries to keep him a secret from his family and friends so that he doesn't have to return him again. When the beagle is attacked by another dog, all of his family is aware that Mark was hiding him. He doesn't want to give him back so he works out a deal with the original owner to get to keep Shiloh.

This is a very touching book. When we were done reading the book, the student drew me a picture of Shiloh.

Shiloh is about a little boy named Marty, who decides to hide and protect a little beagle dog from his abusive owner, Judd Travers. The little boy thinks he is doing the right thing but ends up causing him to bury himself in lies and puts himself and the dog in more danger. Once his family finds out about the dog they force him to confront Judd. He asks if he can keep the dog in exchange for physical labor. Judd makes him do very difficult work and in the end Marty is unsure if he will actually receive the dog in the end.

I really like this book. It made me tear up a little but teaches a good lesson about working hard for the things you want in life and standing up for what you believe in.

I would read this book aloud and give each student a copy of their own and call on them every once in while to read the book aloud to make sure they were paying attention.
