A Home for Nathan

Rating:
Summary: Great book for kids
Review: I began using this book in my 1st grade classroom 2 years ago and I think my students benefit a great deal from it.
It is both enjoyable and educational.
A great introduction to the responsibilities of adopting and owning a pet.

Summary: My child loves this book!!
Review: I read this book to my five-year old. He loves animal books and this one immediately became his favorite. It is one of my favorites too, because the message is one of kindness. What a sweet book!! I especially recommend it to families that have adopted a pet from an animal shelter.

Review: i thought a home for nathan was a great story for kids about the reality of homeless animals. ( so much so that i gave a year of my free time to do the illustrations) too often, this side of caring for a cat or dog ( or bunny rabbit after the easter holiday) is not taught to kids. it IS a life long commitment, hard but extremely rewarding. a home for nathan is great because it shows kids everything involved in having a pet, without being preachy. it is a serious message in a fun book. when i did the illustrations, i drew REAL people (though the original nathans owner was edited because "he would scare kids"). i wanted to show children that white people with blue hair, and black people with dreadlocks can be professional and responsible. also, though nathans new family is not "traditional" it is normal and filled with love! children learn about life through what they see. in a home for nathan they will see real people doing really great things!
