Informative and Charming

this is a lovely, lovely book. I was happy to learn more about this companionable animal. Although I'm not a 'lab gal' myself, I could easily see why someone would want this loyal and obedient animal.the text and illustrations are charming- this would be THE book to give Lab Lovers for Christmas

Top Notch

I'm a lab man, I've owned labs ever since my college days. I was given this book by my tennis buddy and I must admit it sat on my humidor for about a week before I picked it up. Its a hoot, really funny. I'm glad I discovered it. Great style and wit!

Love these labs!

Since I bought The Happy Little Book of Pugs--how could I not buy this book too? Everyone loves labs and I am no different. Again, the smart design and vintage graphics are what drew me to this book. I'm going to buy 5 more before they sell out and give them as presents to my family and friends.

A written appreciation for this visual appreciation

This small picture book functions as a great resource for anyone interested in owning a lab and finding out more about the breed, or as a delightful display piece for owners and devotees of the labrador. The illustrations and photography are the focal points as you flip the pages, but it is a surprising source of valuable information. Place it on a side table and watch as guests, intending to idly scan through the pictures, end up reading it cover to cover.

Every dog lover should have this book

To all the dog lovers out there ( and especially Lab lovers), this book is a must have. Ms Schuckhart really captures the essence of Lab life and lore. Fun to read and look at I found myself chuckling and nodding in agreement at every spread. As a fan of many dog breeds, I can't wait to see more in the series. Beautifully designed as well.
