Strongheart: The World's First Movie Star Dog

40 pp. | Holt | November, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-9448-0 $17.99
(3) K-3 At the close of WWI, champion police dog Etzel is "discovered" in a New York kennel, retrained as an actor for silent movies, and renamed Strongheart. This engaging story, based on the real life of the predecessor of movie-star dogs such as Rin Tin Tin, is illustrated with full-page and spot-art watercolors that aptly convey Strongheart's personality and escapades as well as the 1920s setting. Bib.
