Morris and Buddy: The Story of the First Seeing Eye Dog

40 pp. | Whitman | April, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-5284-1 $15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Doris Ettlinger. It's 1928, and Morris Frank, who is blind, travels from Tennessee to Switzerland to become the first American owner of a seeing-eye dog. Based on true events, the story reads like fiction due to the attention Hall pays to Morris's feelings and some invented dialogue. The illustrations, although somewhat stiff, reinforce the story's quiet humanity. An afterword includes archival photographs. Websites. Bib.
