AN ABSOLUTE DELIGHT

This particular Herriot story has been and is one of my favoites out of his several books. There is something quite charming and human here that is difficult to put a finger on. Being a dog lover of course helps, but this is the type of story that will appeal to just about everyone. Only One Woof is the story of a sheep dog who did just that, uttered only one woof in his entire life. This wonderful story has here been made into a children's books with wonderful illustrations by Peter Barrett. The art work alone is worth the price of the book. I have read this one to classes and it is universally love by the kids. I highly recommend this one.

A Delightful Retelling Of A Favorite Story

When I first read the chapter in an earlier Herriot book relating the story of the silent young sheepdog, I was inexplicably moved. Later in life, when I had the extreme good fortune to become the owner of a border collie pup, I named her Gyp in honor of Mr. Herriot's wonderful tale. This particular version for children is a delight for readers young and old alike. Highly recommended!

An wonderful read!

This book was a favorite of my childhood and I still read it to this day. I pick it up somtimes at night or just when I want a quick read! All children will love this story.
