5.0 out of 5 stars A Charming Book, July 2, 2000

By	Rebecca L. King "Enchanted Gypsy" (California, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I received "Millie's Book" as a gift several years ago. Although I may be a bit partial having shared my life with Springer Spaniels for nearly 20 years, I found the book very enjoyable. Aside from Millie and her pups being adorable, the photos are wonderful, and it gives an inside look into the White House. I was also under the impression "Millie's Book" was more of a children's book, but it has interest for all ages. I would definately recommend "Millie's Book", especially for lovers of spaniel dogs!

5.0 out of 5 stars how can you not like it?, December 22, 2003

By	"truthandjustice" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Millie's Book: As Dictated to Barbara Bush (Hardcover)

I ran across this book that I had bought a few years ago and once again was fully entertained by it. We have a Springer Spaniel also, so that made it even more enjoyable. The pictures are fantastic! The story was adorable and gave us a look at how hard life in the White House is for a well loved pet. :) Give it a look, I think you will enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dog Gone Good Read, September 26, 2000

By	Andy Overbay (Chilhowie, VA) - See all my reviews

Millie's Book reminds us to look at the world through a child's eyes every once in a while. I found the book fascinating, and Millie's "insights" very interesting. I can honestly say that I learned more about our President's home through this account than any book on the subject that I have been exposed to. As the owner of a spoiled Springer myself, I also can attest to the fact that many of Millie's musings strike very closely to real life! Perhaps a little too closely! The photos are superb (and Springers can be very hard the photograph) and the knowledge gained from this book will surprise you. Add it to your library today!
