Book Review: Rags to Riches »

Countless stories have been written about man’s best friend, many recounting tales of perseverance and loyalty. The beautifully illustrated Rags to Riches: A Dog’s Tale of Hope and Friendship tells the story of a young pup named Rags who finds herself lost in the oil fields of West Texas.

Tired, hot and lonely, Rags realizes that what she really needs is a friend.  As she wanders through the oil fields, Rags’ strength is tested as she runs into numerous animals who reject her attempts to seek out friendship.
