The Blue House Dog by Deborah Blumenthal


Bones the dog lives in a blue house with his owner. When his owner dies, Bones becomes a stray, wondering the neighborhood looking for scraps. Cody lives down the street from the blue house, and his dog has died.  Cody tries to befriend Bones, who is skittish and distrustful of people.  But with patience, Cody slowly gets Bones to trust him, and they become a pair.

This is a very gentle story about a dog and a boy finding each other and dealing with grief.  It is a Show-Me Award nominee this year.
