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!

Format:Paperback
An interest in dogs led me to this book-and it's a fun read! If you know any springer spaniels, especially spoiled ones, it will seem like they wrote it. The book's purpose was to raise funds for Mrs. Bush's Literacy Campaign, and the content is non-partisan.
The book follows Millie's years as the Bush's companion. The pictures are great, and include captions by Millie and many shots of her puppies. You do get an overview of White House history from a stay-off-the-furniture point of view. Millie has since passed away, but "her" book makes you feel like you met her.
This book would also be great for a family to read together-some captions are simple enough for early readers, while there are enough pictures to occupy them while older folks handle the text.

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.
