Customer Reviews

Great book, children love it!

As a weimaraner lover and owner, I bought this book for my (then) 5 year old daughter. She loved it and wanted it read to her every night! This is the book she chose to take to school to share with her kindergarten class of the hundreds of books we have. The Kindergarten class also seemed to really enjoy it. The class requested that she bring it back for the teacher to read several times. The librarian at school even asked to borrow it to use at story time. It is a nice book, with an intriguing story that appeals to children. There is just enough drama to keep the suspense, but not too much to overwhelm children of this age. It is also fun for adults. Now my daughter is in first grade and I am purchasing another copy for her school library.

GREAT GREAT GREAT!

This book is about a bird dog that doesn't want to be one. One day he and his master went out hunting to shoot some candian geese and thats exactly what happened. He tould the bird dog to go fetch what he shot. The goose that he shot was still alive which the bird dog nursed back to health. Once the goose was better she wanted to go south and so did the dog. But he couln't fly. So they found out ways to make it there and they finally did! This book is absolutly great. It tells the reader what a friend ship is really meant to be! even if you are a diffrent species! Get it!
