=War in Vietnam=

|| Historical note: The Vietnam War began in 1957 and ended in 1975. The war was fought over who would control Vietnam. The country was divided into North Vietnam, which was communist, and South Vietnam which was not. The United States entered the war to help the South Vietnamese, but they were not successful. South Vietnam surrendered, and Vietnam became a single nation. || Mrs. Moyer ||^  || Tommy R. - I liked it that Cracker and Rick got out alive. ||

 * || Review: This book was unusual because the story was told from the perspective of the dog. I never knew that dogs were used in wartime. I don’t really like war stories, but this one really kept my interest and gave me insight into what it was like to be in Vietnam. ||
