Great Dane Savannah Blue writes a letter to a new friend who had to go home.

Savannah Blue is all of two years old, & lives in a house of girls. When her human's niece comes for a vacation, Savannah Blue & Calla Roo get along just fine. When her new friend has to go back home, Savannah Blue becomes blue.

Then her human suggests she write to Calla Roo, so they can stay close friends.

In this first letter we meet feisty two year old Savannah Blue, & explore her world with through her perspective of love, humor & wisdom.

Dear Calla Roo...Love, Savannah Blue is a little too sweet for me, although I did enjoy Sudie Rakusin's energetic illustrations.

If you are a dog-lover & want to introduce the inner life of dogs to your children, then it will be just your cup of tea, I think.
