A timely and beautiful look at America's rich history of immigration and diversity, from Faith Ringgold, the Coretta Scott King and Caldecot Honor winning creator of Tar BeachFrom the Native Americans who first called this land their home, to the millions of people who have flocked to its shores ever since, America is a country rich in diversity. Some of our ancestors were driven by dreams and hope. Others came in chains, or were escaping poverty or persecution. No matter what brought them here, each person embodied a unique gift--their art and music, their determination and grit, their stories and their culture. And together they forever shaped the country we all call home. Vividly expressed in Faith Ringgold's sumptuous colors and patterns, We Came to America is an ode to every American who came before us, and a tribute to each child who will carry its proud message of diversity into our nation's future.
PRAISE FOR WE CAME TO AMERICA **A 2017 Notable Social Studies Trade Book for Young People** "As Americans wrestle with the moral and legal aspects of immigration, Ringgold offers a reminder of the country's multifaceted lineage--and of the beauty to be discovered at cultural crossroads.... The simplicity of Ringgold's text, combined with the captivating designs, makes this a compelling, must-have narrative for a wide audience."
-School Library Journal, starred review
"Using a broad brush and folk style familiar from her story quilts, Ringgold pictures families of diverse heritage... her powerful voice emphasizes unity and mutual appreciation." -Publishers Weekly

Not really what I paid for.
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
I have two major chewer dogs, and one of REALLY chews on everything. It’s super difficult not spending an average of $50 every 2-4 months on chew toys because they go through them so fast.
When I got my first boy I saw his chewing habits so I looked for a durable chew toy brand. Nylabone was everyone’s favorite so I tried two or three chew toys for him after attempting other brands. He’s six years old and this past Christmas I JUST threw away his very first chew bone. It lasted over 5 years. I was ecstatic after year one! A heavy duty chew toy brand that actually did was promised!
Naturally I stuck with Nylabone, never having an issue with any of their toys until this one. Cheeseburger bacon flavored/scented was my go to for this second puppy I just got with the same, if not more, super chewing habits. He loves trying to steal our bacon and burgers so I’m like, “Okay. I’ll try this one.”
It arrives, I open it. It smells like freshly burnt rubber from tires and neither of my boys will touch it. I’m also wondering how this can be durable if I can literally bend without trying much. I’m overly concerned with them digesting it and will probably toss it in the trash since my youngest boy has stomach issues already and doesn’t need this thing irritating it.
In short, if you think yours will smell like bacon burger go for it. Just make sure your dog isn’t a super canine chewer because I doubt this thing would last an hour with even one of my dogs and that’s if they would actually touch it.

Ok

Not for powerful chewers. Did not hold up to Corso pup or Belgian Malinois.

None of the dogs are interested
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
My Mini Schnauzer wasn’t at all interested, and she usually at least explores a new toy a little. I even tried rubbing food on it.
I washed it & gave it to my brother who has a Belgian Malinois (?) & it was a no go. We rescued a Goldendoodle & she won’t even hold it in her mouth if I hand it to her.
My guess is that the toy is too heavy & the rubber has an off putting smell. This one got 3 strikes from not very picky dogs.

Great for a medium chewer!
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
Bought this for my Standard Poodle. He's a year old, 65 pounds, and loves to chew but doesn't have the jaw strength of some of my previous dogs (I think my pit bull would have destroyed this in short order!). This works well for him; it's his favorite toy for fetching. It bounces in an unpredictable manner when you throw it so he has fun chasing and retrieving it. It is heavy so be careful throwing it in the house! I like these shapes better than balls that will roll far under things and be difficult to retrieve. I don't know that I would leave him alone with it in case he did chew a piece off, but for monitored play I highly recommend. I'll definitely buy more if these ever wear out but I don't see that happening in the near future!

Smells like rubber.
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
I bought this flavored nylabone for my dog because he had one that he just loved and it finally had to be thrown out. So I bought him this one and he won't even chew on it. All it smells like is rubber. No flavor smell AT ALL. But our other dog chews anything and he chews this so I kept it. I won't buy nylabone again.
