I recently read this aloud to a group of 50 second graders who were easily mezmerized by the high quality writing of Ms Weller. She is vivid in her imagery and invocation of color. The story is about an heroic dog. His heroism comes about because he is determined to be who he is and be put off by the restrictions that others would impose on him. Some look down on him because he is a dog. Others want to hold him back out of concern for his welfare. Rip will be who is his. It is a great book with a great message. The kids got it and loved it.

I picked up this book because we have a golden retriever, but I loved this book because of the memorable story & masterful illustrations. The pictures in this book are absolutely some of the best I have seen since Wesley Dennis. A must have for any family.

What a great story and beautiful pictures. My 1st grade class loved it and they had so many questions, comments, and it just opened up so much discussion.

I bought this book for my children. It is a nice story of a dog who loves the beach, even though he is not really welcome there. It is a nice story with great artwork. It demonstrates the true spirit of the dog.
