Lad: A Dog by Albert Payson Terhune
This is a true story of Lad, a collie living at Sunnybank Farm, and his daily life and adventures. A heartwarming, engaging living book, this is the title that made us consider starting this series. Such a wonderful, beautiful tale. While geared toward 4th grade and older, our younger children have also greatly enjoyed this as a family read aloud, especially this version, which is completely illustrated throughout.
