Book Excerpt
"I am an angel and I will tell you a story this Christmas Day. It is a story about a small dog. He was the smallest in a group of three street dogs who had no home. Small dog would often look for food where he could. Sometimes he found scraps of food near the garbage cans or he ate food which has been dropped on the street. He also got food from a kind man who fed him.Often he would go to an alley with the other dogs because there they would be fed by Mr. Rosario, a good man who worked in a business nearby.
But small dog was the last to eat because the bigger dogs pushed him out. Mr. Rosario had tried to catch the dogs so they wouldn't be homeless, but they always ran away when he got close.
One day Mr. Rosario stood there looking at the smaller dog who was waiting behind the pack to eat. He said, "Small dog, I will call you "Scrapper, because you only get scraps of food and that is not enough even for a small dog like you."
As the holiday gets closer, Scrapper is starting to get tired of roaming from place to place. He finds a small nativity scene outside a church to curl up in. When he wakes the next morning to search for food, he discovers an abandoned puppy all alone.
Scrapper takes the puppy to Mr. Rosario, hoping he can help. And Mr. Rosario does more than that: he gives both Scrapper and the puppy a home for Christmas.
This is such a cute, heartwarming story. Young readers will absolutely love Scrapper, and his happily ever after will make readers of all ages smile. It's a beautifully illustrated book that can be enjoyed at any time, but reading it at Christmas will become an extra special holiday tradition.
I'd highly recommend this sweet story to parents for their young readers to enjoy.
