The Santa Dog Teacher's Edition provides a great classroom reading activity.

It starts with the story. When abandoned golden retriever Denby is rescued by Santa in the Nevada desert on Christmas Eve, he knows he has found the perfect family. But over the months between one Christmas and the next, Denby finds himself again and again doing what he has been told not to. Are his actions somehow tied to the injury he had when Santa found him? Or is he just a bad dog? With the help of a reindeer, some elves, and Santa himself, Denby finds that solving his own mystery could also mean saving Christmas. The story leads to discussion. This Teacher's Edition of Santa Dog features helpful lesson plans for classroom use. It also includes a fun annual art contest where classes can win cash for their entries. Teachers and students will greatly enjoy all that Santa Dog has to offer.
