Albert, an adventurous dachshund, set out for his dream adventure! His love for taxi's made him unable to resist getting in one. One day when his owner Mrs. Crabtree took him off his leash, he escaped in a taxi. When the driver threw him out, he was able to hop from taxi to taxi and continue his adventure. When his final ride was supposed to end up in California, he ran into Mr. Crabtree at the airport! Ending his trip, happy to see his owner and go home, Albert wonders where his adventures could take him. We encourage our students to find books that relate to them, or catch their eye. When I picked up this book, I saw Albert, a dachshund!!!! I have a pet Dachshund and their curiosity is the best thing about their breed. So I decided to pick this book to read. I was pleasantly surprised at how cute this story was. It would be a great read aloud for students. It also can show students it's not safe to run away from home, if you wanted them to gain a message from the story. ( )
