Even though this story was set in 1951 during the time of the Korean War, 3 kids are dealing with much bigger problems. A dog with 2 first names, Tippy Lemmey, is causing problems in their neighborhood. He always barks at them and tries to chase after them! The kids really want him gone but they soon come to realize why he acts the way that he does and then come to find that he is a hero!
This book is mini-chapter book that introduces the Korean war and the effects that it had on this small town. I would expose the students to some background information about that particular war and open discussion up for students that may have experienced some effects from wars that they have lived through.
