KAYLA: A CRY IN THE WILDERNESS (DVD)

Especially liked the interactive material. "Everything was wonderful, but I wanted more." "It was interesting to know about the author because I might like to read some of her other books." "We loved the story. We laughed, we cried, and we cheered."

Excellent picture quality, great story, pleasing dialog. DVD extras are wonderful and easy-to-use, should motivate further study. "I could see lots of areas of inquiry for kids: wild dogs, exploration, sledding, dog training, music, carpentry."

When young Sam befriends a wild dog, the townspeople, fearing it will kill their livestock, pressure his family to destroy it. DVD features include information on Quebec and author Elizabeth Van Steenwyk, a scene index, and questions for discussion.
