THE DOG 



SUGGESTIONS 



Some novels that teachers may find interesting that have 

 dogs for heroes are: "Bob, Son of Battle," "The Call of the 

 Wild," and "The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come." Kip- 

 ling and Long will furnish ideas, and a good encyclopedia will 

 contain good pictures and many interesting facts. 



Two stories for the children are: "Moufflon" and "Dicky 

 Smiley's Birthday," in "The Story Hour," by Kate Douglas 

 Wiggin. 



For drawing; modeling, painting, or cutting, follow the ideas 

 in the stories told, using objects mentioned there. A mat for 

 doggy to lie on, his collar, the dish he eats from, a cookie that 

 he likes, a loaf of bread before we cut him a slice, the knife to 

 cut it with, a newspaper that he brings from the office, a basket 

 he can carry in his mouth, etc. Don't forget to let them illus- 

 trate some stories, even if you can see no "results," and let 

 them draw the dogs that visit you.
