Zora and the Greyhounds

Zora and the Greyhounds by Mark AJ Guilliatt is a delightful children's book that will engage those readers who are starting to read "chapter books."

Zora is a rescue dog who is cute and fast, but not a purebred. Her owner, Mark, would proudly tell her that she was an American Squirrel Hound. She believed him and proudly shared that information with other dogs. They would laugh at her and tell her that there was no such breed. Because Zora was so fast, she wanted to race against the greyhounds at the race track. She and her friend Jackie (Mark's other dog) began to work out and practise running every day to help Zora achieve her dream. Unfortunately, things did not go smoothly for Zora.

This book teaches lessons about perseverance, show more friendship & determination. It also deals with teasing and self-confidence. A great little book to use when learning about values and character traits. I would recommend that this book be in all school libraries as well as late primary classroom libraries.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. show less
