As a middle school teacher, I highly recommend this book not only for a classroom, but also for pleasure reading at home. A wonderful story told through the eyes of the beloved, Newfoundland of Meriwether Lewis on their historic journey west. The book presents acurate historical data and wonderful illustrations that would engage anyone who loves adventure and dogs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book - Beautiful Pictures, October 28, 2004

This is a great book. I am over 40 and love this book by Ms. Eubank. Speaking about the hardcover, it comes with a Newfoundland dog book mark that is attached to the book by a ribbon. Children love the attached dog. I love the pictures and the Lewis and Clark story as Ms. Eubank tells it. Since the story is written from the point of view of Captain Meriwether Lewis's dog, it is not, of course, "accurate," but the expedition story itself is well told through this creative avenue. I have seen more children use this book to learn the story of Lewis and Clark than any other and they never want to put the book down.
