    Sergeant Gander is a fascinating account of the Royal Rifles of Canadas canine mascot, and his devotion to duty demonstrated during the Battle of Hong Kong in the Second World War. Armed only with his formidable size, an intimidating set of teeth, and a protective instinct, Gander rought alongside his fellow Canadian soldiers. As the Royal Rifles' position become more precarious, the men were forced to retreat into the hills of Hong Kong, and it was here that a group of wounded Canadians, threatened by a live grenade, came to fully appreciate the loyalty of Gander. For his service in battle, Sergeant Gander was awarded the Dickin Medal, the animal equivalent to the Victoria Cross for humans. This honour is dedicated to animals displaying gallantry and devotion to duty while under any control of the armed forces. Sergeant Gander is the nineteenth dog to receive this medal and the first Canadian canine to do so.

    Sommaire:

    Jack James is an ordinary kid. At the age of 10 his mom encouraged him to start his own business. He decided to write a book to encourage other kids who are thinking about starting a business. Jack’s book is written from one kid to another. In How to Let Your Parents Raise a Millionaire, Jack tells other kids the story of how he started his business, Jack’s Garbage Valet. He explains how easy and fun it can be and explains exactly why other kids should strive to become an entrepreneur. He also tackles two subjects many kids experience, but few talk about: Bullying and having a learning disability. Jack has devoted a chapter to each of these subjects to help kids just like him understand they are not alone. Through Jack’s candid discussions about being bullied and what it feels like not to be able to read like the other kids in class, Jack encourages them to believe in themselves and know in their hearts they are winners!
