I own the entire series of books written by Destry Ramey. Each book is very special. I have read the three earlier books to my elementary students since they were first published. The newest book in the series is a wonderful addition. All four of the pugs are still important parts of the story as is the new "star" Feather. When I first read to my students about Feather being thrown from the car in a brown paper bag, I had tears running down my cheeks. The children were so concerned that I was crying. I told them that I just couldn't imagine someone doing that to a little puppy. They all agreed. This lead to a discussion about the way to treat animals and how to help animals in need. Several students said that they have rescue dogs at home. The story is so uplifting and joyful. There are so many themes in this book that can be talked about with elementary children. My class loved that Max was able to adopt Lucy. The race at the end of the book was so exciting. I read The Brown Paper Bag to my class the next day and the students got even more excited about the race! Jesus Chavez has done a wonderful job with the illustrations. His art work compliments the story perfectly. I'm buying a copy of this book for each great niece and nephew in the family and one for our school library.
