Anna craves to be the one student chosen to carry the wreath in the Wreath-Laying Ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. She is never picked for the other fun teams at school, but Anna is determined to write a great letter to convince her teacher she should be apart of the Tomb team. She looks to her Gramps for suggestions and writes a letter, which is genuine and heart-felt in its emotion. At the ceremony, Anna and her seeing-eye dog Natalie feel very special as they lay the wreath in front of the tomb of the Unknown Soldier to honor all dogs that served valiantly in World War II. This is a great book, which teaches that perseverance and strength of spirit can win over a person's disabilities.

reviewed Anna and Natalie on November 20, 2008 Anna and Natalie
Genre: Fiction Reading level: Ages 6-9
Our nation is currently at war. Many families have loved ones away or lost to battle. One monument stands for all, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Only four students in Mrs. Randall's third grade class will have an opportunity to be a part of the ceremony. Will Anna be chosen? Or will she be passed over like she has been so many times in the past. The author, also a teacher, hints in her dedication that Anna and Natalie may be real "people". The artist's subtle watercolor drawings tease us with a shadow of something barely noticeable about Anna and her sister walking home. There is a dog at the table and on the porch, but we don't realize until the end that Natalie is a guide dog and that Anna is visually impaired. A definite tearjerker and a beautiful tribute to the blind and their helper dogs. A source note at the end of the story gives us more information about brave canine soldiers.
