For April's Book of the Month, I chose Sled Dog Dachshund by Laura Atkins. I know this story is more for winter, but I couldn't resist a picture book that incorporates my favorite breed into the story.
Summary: Jasper the dachshund wants to compete in the world's biggest dog sled race, but he's too little and doesn't fit in with the other sled dogs. He doesn't give up and makes his dream come true!
Age Range: 5-7 years
"Jasper leaned forward, stretching his hotdog body as far as it could go...The next thing he knew, Jasper heard cheers all around."
This is a picture book that teaches the lesson of teamwork and being helpful because of who you are despite being different. The story is the right length and can be used for storytimes. This book has a great message and cute illustrations.
