Books with author Thelma Smith Krone

Children love animals, but often do not comprehend the level of responsibility that caring for a pet requires. Thousands of stray and abandoned pets still roam the streets despite the many shelters and rescue organizations that strive to reduce the number of unwanted animals. Author Thelma Smith Krone draws awareness to the responsibility of owning a pet in her book, "Sadie," a touching story about an abandoned husky dog that finds a new home. In her own words, Sadie describes the family she once knew and loved until the day they took her for a drive and left her along the side of the road. Alone, afraid, and hungry, Sadie waits patiently for her family to return, but they never do. Sadie's luck changes when she meets a kind man who shares his lunch with her and later takes her home. Children will enjoy this heartwarming story with a happy ending.
