Clementine for Christmas

(4) 4-6 Sixth grader Josie loves volunteering with her dog Clementine at the hospital, and she's dismayed to learn that the hospital's children's Christmas Festival has been canceled. She offers to organize the event and is forced to work with two difficult classmates; of course, the three become friends. Despite a predictable plot and some awkward prose, this is an enjoyable tale of compassion and friendship.
