#12 Animal Fiction in eBooks for Kids

     How can I possibly recommend only three animal books for kids?  There are so many!

     Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo was a Newberry Honor Book in 2001.  It is a sweet story about Opal and her stray dog, Winn-Dixie.  The eBook is available for Nook on BN.com and Kindle on Amazon.com for $3.50.

     The Trouble With Tuck by Theodore Taylor was first published in 1981and is also a dog book.  When Tuck begins to loose his sight, his young owner finds a wonderful solution to his problem.  The eBook is available for both Kindle and Nook from their respective web sites for $5.99.

     Curious George was written and illustrated by H.A. Rey and Margaret Rey in 1941.  It eventually became a series of pictures books about George, the monkey, and his owner, the man with the yellow hat.  It is available on Amazon.com for Kindle for $5.24 and on BN.com for Nook for $6.99.  The illustrations will be black and white unless your device displays color.

     Frog and Toad are Friends by Arnold Lobel was published in 1970, and is an illustrated beginning reader.  It is available as an eBook for both Nook and Kindle at $4.99. 

   (Woops! I think that was already four books, and I still have one more)  Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McCloskey is a classic picture book first published in 1941.  Amazon has an Audible Audio Edition for Kindle that sells for only $2.95.  I have not actually tried it, but if you are interested in these audio versions, you might want to consider it.  The price is especially good.

     Next time I will recommend some books about kids moving to new places.  Please join us.

     On my other blog, I have written a post about the sources of my ideas for Monkey Tales, a little beginning reader.
