Hachiko Waits

96 pp. | Holt | October, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-7336-1 $15.95
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Machiyo Kodaira. In 1920s Japan, a dog named Hachiko who met his owner at the train station each day continued his vigil for ten years after his master died. Newman's fictionalized version of this true story is well told and avoids undue sentimentality, while Kodaira's black-and-white illustrations will help readers with the historical setting. An author's note provides information about the actual Hachiko. Glos.
