How Fletcher Was Hatched!

Rating:
Summary: Sweet, sweet book!
Review: As an elementary teacher, I'm surprised this book is not more popular today. I remember it from my childhood as being my very favorite picture book, partly because we had a dog like Fletcher. Fletcher demonstrates an intense devotion and insecurity about his mistress's love for him. He's jealous of the chickens she raises. To solve this problem, he gets his friends to build a gigantic egg around him, hoping to get her attention by resembling the eggs/chickens she dotes upon. It's a creative way to solve his problem. I plan to use the book in my classroom to illustrate point of view, problem solving, cooperation and character's feelings. (Plus I just like any story that's about a dog!)

I recently got the second printing that comes with a forward about the author. The artwork is also beautiful. Fletcher is a very sweet heartwarming story. It will brings tears to my eyes. I think this will make a nice gift to children of all ages.

Review: This was one of my favorite books as a child. I was so excited to read it to my own son. I have my original hardcover from 1969 that I recently discoved in an old box. What a find! I still laugh when I read it. Do yourself and your children a favor and get this book.
