4.0 out of 5 stars A nice story for children; a visual delight for Maine lovers, July 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Nellie the Lighthouse Dog (Paperback)

Nellie is a good little dog and tells a pleasant story about her life in Port Clyde. Young children can enjoy the story. Adults who have been to Maine will revel in the illustrations. Robert Ensor has created some lovely watercolors. It's a charming book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Let Nellie Be Your Guide, November 3, 2000

This review is from: Nellie the Lighthouse Dog (Paperback)

Nellie, a wiry dog with a flaggy-waggy tail, is a wonderful guide as you explore a peninsula along the Maine coast that juts far into the sea. Nellie takes you to the general store, post office, and, of course, the Marshall Point lighthouse. Robert Ensor's illustrations beautifully capture the rockbound coast, Maine architecture (big house, little house, backhouse, barn -- all attached), lobsterboats, and the open sea. Year-round residents and summer people (cottagers, as we're known hereabouts) will recognize and adore each and every landmark. Look for the other three books in the series. They're treasures.

Wonderful little story with beautiful illustrations. Any child would love, but as I said, am 69 and loved it too! Got a postcard with a picture of Nellie and the lighthouse and figured there must be a story and there it was! Pleasant surprise!
