As the title implies this book tells the story of more adventures of Owney, the dog adopted by postal workers. Children will enjoy this book that is based upon the life of a real dog who traveled the country and the world in the late 1880's. You may also want to buy the original Owney book by Dirk Wales. The story is fun and the illustrations are great. Owney really did exist and is featured prominently in the Smithsonian Postal Museum in Washington, DC.

I highly recommend this book to teachers and parents. This was bought as a Christmas present along with two other books about Owney.

this is an interesting children's book. Good pictures too, and fascinating story this year with a stamp coming out for Owney.

This is a nice children's book about Owney, a dog who traveled the Rail Post Office system in the late 1800s and is now featured in a display at the National Postal Museum. It's a nice read-along story and has great illustrations.
