I usually don't pick out picture books to free read that are fictional. I am more into using my imagination. However this book caught my eye because of the names of the characters. I want to name my next dog Bella, and that is what this dogs name is. The book is about an odd pair of best friends. A combination you don't come across- a dog and an elephant. What a sweet story? The two met and became best friends and Bella the dog gets hurt. Tarra is sad and waits for a few days in the exact spot where he had last seen Bella. After a while he starts to walk to go find her, strangely enough he walks directly to the building on the Sanctuary where Bella was being cared for. He sees her through the window and the care takers know then the best medicine for the two of them is to be reunited. The pictures are all real life photos and the background colors of the pages are lime green, blue, and white.
This is a very informational story. I would most definately read this to my class if we were doing a unit on elephants, best friends, elephant sanctuaries, or zoo's. Believe it or not there are these elephant sanctuaries in the United States. I had figured they were in a different country but this took place in Tennessee!
