• Shortened But Still Good 03 January, 2007
The Sailor Dog was my favorite book growing up. I remember it fondly as I looked at the pictures imagining a world where dogs sailed the ocean or flew planes and went on grand adventures. I have ordered the orginal in the past from Amazon for a local book drive and got what I expected. On this recent order which was for our 2 year old who loves both books and dogs I got the Little Golden Book edition. Remember those wonderful small books with the gold spine? This edition, however, was not the same Sailor Dog of my childhood. It is an edited version without some of the pages. If you are looking for the original, keep looking. Otherwise this is a fun book.

• Warm Hearted Silly Adventures . 19 April, 2008
I remembered this being read to/with me when I was a pre-schooler in the early fifties. I have strong memories of the art work as warm and secure images. Seeing them again fifty plus years later showed me why, they are outstanding! I had forgotten the plot, which is silly and fun to read aloud. More positive than most nursery plots, and with an independent well anthropomorphized canine hero.

• I Love This Story 28 June, 2008
I chanced across this book one day and bought it for my (now 19-year-old) son, and it was so fun to read. We lost the book, but for years afterwards I always remembered the opening line: "Born at sea in the teeth of a gale, the sailor was a dog." And I loved how he bought a bushel of oranges, and had a hook for his hat and a hook for his spyglass etc. It's just a darling story.
Now I have a 3-year-old son again and I just had to buy him his own copy. It's one of the best bedtime stories ever :-)
