From the beginning, Prince Tom stood out from other dogs. He was a runt and the only blond puppy in a litter of black cocker spaniels. Thanks to his happy-go-lucky personality, Prince Tom was picked out as the perfect birthday gift for Tom Clute. From then on, Prince showed what he could do in the manner of tricks, obedience trials, and field trials.
Champion Dog Prince Tom is a must-read for dog lovers. It is the true story of a small cocker spaniel that set record after record, including the honor of being the first American cocker to win the national field trials and the only one to do so while holding obedience titles. The simple style of the book is perfect for younger readers, though older readers may still enjoy the story.

George Washington Allen is a young boy who knows almost everything about George Washington. Their birthdays are even on the same day! But one morning, George realizes that he doesn’t know what George Washington ate for breakfast, and he is determined to find out. His grandmother promises to make him a breakfast just like George Washington, and the search begins.
This is a fun little book. A definite must-read for Washington’s Birthday, (oh, and George W. Allen’s birthday, too!).
