Another Sure hit from the New York Times Best-selling Author!

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Sally can't wait. This affable black Lab and her human pal (appearing only occasionally as a partially offstage arm or lap) are going camping in the mountains. She's read all about the animals up there--rabbits, bears, moose, owls, beavers, skunks--and is itching to get to know each and every one. They load up the van with gear and plenty of dog food, and Sally snuggles down to sleep for the long ride, while visions of songbirds and berry-munching bears dance in her head. This irresistible canine is well acquainted with road trips after her earlier trip to the beach (Sally Goes to the Beach). Dog lovers especially will be amused by Sally's innocent ramblings and her dreamy fixation on food. Internationally acclaimed artist Stephen Huneck creates fantastic hand-carved woodblock prints of the stocky Lab (who also starred in his My Dog's Brain) and miscellaneous mountain critters, creating the kind of art that will linger long in a reader's memory. (Ages 3 to 7) --Emilie Coulter

From Publishers Weekly

The adventurous black lab from Sally Goes to the Beach heads to the range in Sally Goes to the Mountains by Stephen Huneck. Here she discovers an evasive rabbit, has a humorous exchange with an owl and takes a swim, and the final pages offer readers a surprise. Huneck's woodblock prints capture the rolling landscape and incorporate some abstract twists (such as a tree that grows dog food).

This review is from: Sally Goes to the Mountains (Hardcover)

In Sally Goes To The Mountains, author/illustrator Stephen Huneck draws upon his award-winning expertise to take young readers on a romp with a fun-loving black Labrador named Sally. Sally goes for a ride to the mountains where she encounters bears, moose, rabbits, and skunks! There are berries to pick, sticks to fetch, and a lake to swim in. Huneck's bright, superbly crafted woodcut prints perfectly capture the joy of a dog's outing in the mountains for young readers. Also highly recommended is the earlier volume of Sally's adventures, Sally Goes To The Beach (0810941864, [price]).

This review is from: Sally Goes to the Mountains (Hardcover)

I bought this book for my mom as a present. She already owns the other "Sally" books and loved this one too. The illustrations are beautiful and very whitty. My favorite is the giant moose with Sally. The Sally books aren't just for Lab owners or children--any pet lover will enjoy them.
