Prince Jan: St. Bernard
This post was created to serve as the hub of all things related to our “Prince Jan: St. Bernard” reading project and its additional dog-themed Junior Dispatch items. It was originally presented to Junior Dispatch readers in March 2010. Each chapter features a video, vocabulary words and an essay question.
WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
“Prince Jan: St. Bernard” is a book by Forrestine C. Hooker and tells the story of a young St. Bernard pup that is brought from Europe to America. His life there starts out nice enough, but things soon go bad for him. Find out if he’s able to turn things around in this exciting 17-chapter novel!
This book will be best appreciated by advanced readers, but we hope all will enjoy it!
