Dog Tags
Dale faces a big decision: World War II is in full swing, and he wants to do his patriotic duty. Dale is only twelve years old--how can he help America? His dog, Scout, provides the answer when his master hears about the U.S. Army's Dogs for Defense program. Dale loves his pet, but he knows Scout could serve as an animal courier for American troops at war. Should he enroll Scout in the program? Along the way, Dale begins trumpet lessons as his school forms a band for the first time. He loves the Andrews Sisters and their hot new song, Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. His dream is to play that solo for the popular trio. Could that dream come true? "Dog Tags" answers these questions and more, in a story told from the heart that will inspire young readers everywhere. The curriculum guide includes vocabulary suggestions, active reading questions, music literacy vocabulary and more.
