Three Legged Hero

Ten-year-old Cali watched her new dog-walking client hop around the neighborhood. Thunder was a retired military dog—a real-life hero who had saved several lives in Afghanistan. The German shepherd only had three legs, but he moved around almost as quickly as any other dog. What did Thunder do in the Marines, and would he once again prove himself a hero? Cali was about to find out.

"Joseph is a three-logged German Shepherd dog. At the end of the story, Joseph saves Benjamin from drowning in a river and is adopted by the grateful and delighted little boy. But before Joseph gets to that point, he discovers that he was born with a short, deformed leg, and must go through ""physical therapy"" to learn how to walk. He contends with feelings of loneliness and isolation. The book was written in order to give disabled children hope and to help mothers and fathers talk with their children about living with physical limitations. The artist's delightful pen-and-ink-drawings bring the story to life."

This book is a story of a little girl named Sammy that saved her money to buy a puppy. Instead of purchasing a puppy that had all four legs she chose to buy the one that was born with only three. She trained the puppy just like a normal puppy and when her and her friends we out playing with a ball it went out into the street. As the girls were running after the ball they didn't see the car approaching. Pixie jumped in front of the girls and made them stop before the car hit them. She saved the girls lives and became the hometown hero. It is a book that reminds people that it is not what is on the outside that matters but what is in the inside that matters.

Introduction by Derek Brewer.The aim of this book is to discuss the characteristics of the traditional fairy tale in Europe and North America, and various theories of its development and interpretation. The book deals with the main collections - the Grimm brothers, Hans Andersen, Perrault and Afanes'ev - and with the development of tales in various regions of Europe, including Ireland, Wales, Scandinavia, Germany and Russia, as well as India, where it was once claimed that they originated.The subject of the fairy tale is a controversial one: problems discussed here include the relationship between tales recorded from story-tellers and literary works, the importance of printed works for the spread of the tales, the growth of recent examples with a feminine approach, the spread of popular tales like Cinderella, special types like the cumulative tales, possible effects of TV, and the nature of traditional plots and characters. Above all, we have been concerned with the distribution and long survival of these tales, and the nature of their appeal. SHORTLISTED FOR THE KATHARINE BRIGGS FOLKLORE AWARD 2004.

A lady once casually remarked on British public broadcasting that a third of society is depressed but no one ever speaks about it. Perhaps, in all seriousness, it is to this third of the population that this book is addressed. However you don't have to be depressed to read it. Potentially it is both amusing and instructive, light and deep. Shocked by the approach of his fiftieth year, an English bachelor makes a desperate attempt to become inwardly aware of his given circumstances. The attempt is sustained as a trial over a complete seven-year cycle in his life, leading virtually to the constitution of a new self. Occasionally enlivened by humour, what is particularly valuable in this account of Hero's manoeuvrings in time is its honesty and sustained sense of hope.

Connie is a happy, friendly turtle. But there is something different about Connie. While other turtles, even Connie's brothers and sisters, have four legs, Connie only has three legs. She hatched from her egg that way and has lived with only three legs all of her life. Connie notices from the beginning that she has difficulty keeping up with the other turtles. They are uncomfortable with her handicap, so they just leave her behind. One day, Seamoor, a snail traveling across the marsh, finds Connie crying and asks her to promise to try to do her best each day. She promises-and that decision changes her life In this fun and heartwarming tale, a young turtle braves her disability and becomes a hero. "Connie the Three-Legged Turtle lovingly teaches the importance of accepting and supporting others and looking beyond the handicaps." -The Leading Edge Review
