Talking Book Review



Mom’s Best Friend by Sally Hobart Alexander

Hello readers!! 

In this sequel to Mom Can't See Me (DB041379), Alexander describes how she obtains and works with a new guide dog in Mom’s Best Friend. This book is again written from the point of view of her daughter, Leslie, who describes what her mother must go through in training a new dog after the death of her old one and the minor disasters in the family's life while the woman is away at school. The book also gives information on what a blind person and guide dog must do in training and the problems they face, such as dealing with low branches and other dogs. 

Although this book is meant for younger readers, readers of all ages can benefit from it and feel a great deal of pride in their choice of using a guide dog.

Happy reading until next week!!
