Customer Reviews

Stickeen for Young 'uns

This book is well done ... and the illustrations are great to go along with it. I just wish more was actually quoted from "Stickeen." John Muir has done some fantastic writing. Really good book to share with a kid (or an adult who's a "kid at heart").

Never too young to learn about John Muir

Beautiful illustrations. It is a simplified, but not dumbed-down, version of Muir's famous essay. Perfect for any child who has - or wants - a dog.

The amazing true story adventure of John Muir

John Muir and Stickeen: An Icy Adventure With A No-Good Dog is the amazing true story adventure of John Muir, who is best known for his tireless work to establish and conserve America's national parks, and a "no-good" dog named Stickeen. As one who loved wild things, Muir felt that tame animals had lost much of their spirit and intelligence along with their wildness. A friend's dog would change his mind forever during one of his expeditions to Alaska; John Muir and Stickeen recounts the dramatic tale with captivating color illustrations of man, dog and icy wilderness.
