Boom! Bang! Guns fire! Cannons roar! This Step 3 History Reader is about George Washington fighting in the American Revolution. He sees a dog lost on the battlefield. Whose dog is it? How will it find its master? Early readers will be surprised to find out what happens in this little-known true story about America’s first president. Step 3 Readers feature engaging characters in easy-to-follow plots about popular topics. These books are for children who are ready to read on their own. Review: These Step 3 readers are excellent introductions to American history - I must admit, my kindergartener and I are great fans of the Step Into Reading series of books. Since my daughter had completed the Step 2 books in the Step Into Reading series of books, I decided to go ahead and purchase the Step 3 books. I was a bit hesitant because I noticed there is quite a big leap between the Step 2 and Step 3 books, especially in terms of vocabulary and sentence structure. The vocabulary is more advanced with higher order words, and the sentences are longer. I was also concerned that my daughter might not like the topics which seemed to be more 'academic' with history-based stories. My worries were unfounded. She loves the books and is reading them with very little help from me (and I enjoy listening to the stories!) These books are excellent for building children's reading skills as well as increasing their confidence in reading. Once you've completed the Step 1 and Step 2 books (I would advise proceeding level by level), the Step 3 books are not as daunting as they might first appear. In "George Washington and the General's Dog", young readers are introduced to our first President. Who knew Washington was such a great animal lover, and owned 36 dogs in his lifetime? The illustrations enhance the reading experience and will motivate visual learners to want to read. I can't recommend these books highly enough - they are great for building reading skills, and also educational. This book is a great introduction to history, and I also came up with a series of short comprehension questions based on the story in this book so as to hone my daughter's comprehension skills (e.g. "What was so special about George Washington?", "Can you name at least one of Washington's dogs?", "Who did the Americans fight?" etc.). These books are not only great intermediate readers but might also inculcate in children a great love of history. Review: General Washington and the General's Dog - George Washington and the General's Dog is a delightful little reader. It will appeal to any small child but if your mission is to find a book that will appeal to a boy then this story should definitely fit the criteria. This book is full of great little nuggets of History about the General that will make everyone smile. And, it is a great way to introduce a small child about the American Revolutionary War too. This is a paperback book. The size is approximately 9 inches in length x 6 inches wide. It is a Step 3 Reader which is for Grade 1 through 3rd. It is 48 pages in length with colorful illustrations on every page. A snippet of text from the book, "People in England found out about George's good deed. The English still wanted to beat George and win the war. But now they respected him. Some English people even liked him. They had never heard a story of such great kindness between enemies." (Page 37, Paperback) For the parent, on the last page, it has a copy of the actual letter sent to General Howe. It reads, "General Washington's compliment to General Howe, does himself to the pleasure to return him a Dog, which accidentially fell into his hands, and by the inscription on the collar, appears to belong to General Howe." A Perfect book for any child's library! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #55,006 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #19 in Children's US Presidents & First Families Biographies #62 in Children's Books on United States Colonial & Revolutionary History #108 in Children's Historical Biographies (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 621 Reviews | ## Images ![George Washington and the General's Dog (Step-Into-Reading, Step 3) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91TMgZRWiHL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These Step 3 readers are excellent introductions to American history *by Z***S on September 28, 2010* I must admit, my kindergartener and I are great fans of the Step Into Reading series of books.
