Tuesday Takes Me There: The Healing Journey of a Veteran and His Service Dog

K-Gr 2—Another charming tale of service dog Tuesday and his owner Montalván. In this title, Tuesday and Montalván, a 17-year army veteran who now advocates for veterans with disabilities, travel to a variety of tourist sites in the New York City and Washington, DC, area. Tuesday is the narrator throughout the story, explaining how she supports Montalván from morning to night. Dion's great photographs show the duo having fun throughout the trip. The work highlights key attractions in each city. It is definitely a whirlwind tour: Tuesday and Montalván ride 12 forms of transportation and eventually end up in a library—just in time for storytime. Montalván read his book to an audience of children while Tuesday sleeps. A website that includes activity sheets for teachers is featured. Young readers in need of information about service dogs or reassurance about post-traumatic stress disorder will appreciate the light tone of this book.
