Genre: Storybook; fiction; animal fantasy

Grade Level: 1-4

Readers: Children who like talking animals, fiction stories, and dangerous adventures.

Rating/Response: 2; This story, though adventuresome, was a little disturbing. I think the fact that the object was a bone disturbed me the most, that could be a little scary to a younger audience.

Questions: Have you ever been in danger? How did you feel? Scared?
