Book Overview

"I'm sure I never said to myself: 'Now, Jim--why don't you sit down and write a poem.' It's still a mystery to me, but I think probably it's something that happened by accident--like a lot of things... This description may be from another edition of this product.

Jimmy Stewart book

I am a huge Jimmy Stewart fan...and I loved this book. Mr. Stewart read one of these poems, Beau, on the Johnny Carson show, and cried as he was reading it. It is a touching poem of his love for his dog.

Jimmy Stewart & His Poems

I love Jimmy Stewart and his poem about his dog "Beau" makes me cry every time I read it.

The one about his dog Beau is a real tear generator

There is no question that Jimmy Stewart was the most beloved actor of his time. He was also an accomplished poet, writing lines that could bring a tear to your eye. His reciting of his poem about his dog named Beau on the Tonight show was so moving that even Johnny Carson reached for a tissue. The poem about his late dog Beau, along with a few more of his best ones, make this one of the best books of poetry around. Simple in design and message, they are a joy to read. I strongly recommend this book.

Poems from the heart and soul of American's greatest.

EVERYONE who admires Jimmy Stewart should have this audio book. Hearing his voice and the emotion he felt about his dog, a camera, and the "step" is what makes these poems remarkable. You find yourself feeling sad and happy about his dogs, feeling sorry for a camera, and intriqued about the "step."

It is the very essence of Jimmy Stewart. I have 2 copies!

I purchase the book/tape for my 16 year old son, who is a fan of Jimmy Stewart. I enjoyed it so much, I then bought my own copy. I listen to it many times on my way to work and home. It is funny, sad, and enthralling...the very essence of Jimmy Stewart. We actually found ourselves feeling sorry for the "camera" in one of his poems, grieved for his dog, and laughed at the "step."
