[nagdu] Guide dog books on Bookshare

[Tracy Carcione]

Below is a list of many of the books about guide dogs on Bookshare.
I went to Advanced Search, and put in guide dog.
Most are for children.
There seems to be at least one for every school.
The Emma books are there, as are the Prudence books and the Beverly Butler
books.  Even Panda the guide horse is there. And the Duncan Maclain blind
detective books, which I didn't include in this list.  Some are real old,
and some are pretty new.  Some are about people I actually know!
Anyway, here it is.
