Review # 1 was written on 2014-03-25 00:00:00 Dwayne Coleman Bechtold, L. (2003). Buster & phobe. New York: Houghton mifflin company. The main characters in the story are named Buster and Phoebe. They are dogs. Buster is younger than Phoebe. Phoebe tricks Buster into giving her all his bones by telling him he has to teach them to stay and then when he is not looking she steals them. Eventually Buster develops a special marking on his bones and realizes that Phoebe has all of his. They finally sort them out and Phoebe is mad because she does not have more than Buster. Then Phoebe sets her sights on the big bone that belongs to the neighbor dog. She makes Buster become friends with him so that she can attempt to steal it. Buster tries to teach the neighbor dog that he needs to teach his bone to stay. Then when they both go away Phoebe steals it, but they catch her and get the bone back. At the end of the story Phoebe tries to fight with Buster and say that she has more bones. Buster then realizes that his new friend is more important and that it does not matter who has more bones. I liked this story, I rate it a 5/5. It was entertaining but a little boring to me. I did like that it has a message to show children that they should share and that it is not okay to take other peoples things.
