More animal reads: another individual story featuring a dog (together with a calico cat) is [[The Underneath by Kathi Appelt]]. [[Born To Run by Michael Morpurgo]] is a lovely Black Beauty-style story about a racing greyhound's travels through live. [[Hate That Cat by Sharon Creech]] is a gorgeous novel in free verse and the perfect introduction to poetry for any primary school child. And, of course, there's always [[Eye of the Wolf by Daniel Pennac|Eye of the Wolf]] by Pennac himself.
