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.

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.

I used this book with my homeschool curriculum and my children loved it, the pictures are great.the content of this book helps to bring everyone for the journey coming from the eyes of such a lovable Newfoundland.

I read and enjoyed this book, and a friend who teaches second grade read it to her class and they loved it!

I recently bought this book at a Newfoundland fundraiser and love it! The book is simple enough that my 4 year old can understand it and engaging enough that I enjoy reading it to him. I love the art work...especially since the dog on the cover looks just like our Newfoundland. I would suggest this book to any Newfy lover or parent.

This book is amazing. It has great pictures and wonderful detail. I am nine and this is a book for all to enjoy.

I discovered this book in an art gallery, which is exactly where it belongs. (Well, it belongs on Amazon and in book stores, too.) This book is so charming that, after glancing through it, I felt compelled to buy it for my grandchildren--once I'm done feasting on it myself.

I had no idea Meriwether Lewis had a Newfoundland dog, nor did I know that it accompanied him on the historic Lewis and Clark expedition. That's a tough dog.

And this is a lovely way of introducing history to young readers. The illustrations are beyond gorgeous.

This was an excellent companion to our children's unit on Lewis and Clark. The book was very engaging and the illustrations were truly beautiful. It provided our children with an informative yet highly enjoyable account of the Lewis and Clark expedition. The book was written from the perspective of Seaman, Lewis's dog, and this allowed for an interesting view of the events that occurred on the expedition. My children also enjoyed using the attached Seaman bookmarker. This was a very cute addition to a well-written and delightful book.

My daughter is 7 and a definate animal lover. The fact that we have a couple of newfoundlands only added to the love for this book. In fact my dogs gave this to my daughter for Valentines Day. The illustrations are abosolutely beautiful!! As a second grader, she is able to read this book by herself with help with a few words. She loves the fact that this book, although fition, is based on true events. She has brought it to show everyone. I'm sure you or your animal lover will enjoy the tale of Seaman as he travels with Lewis and Clark.

This medium-sized paperback book is not long enough to be intimidating, but it transmits the excitement and danger of the Corp of Discovery. Don't be fooled that it is frou-frou because it is narrated by a dog. This allows the author to tell stories from multiple perspectives. My 4th-grader and my my 11th-grader both loved it, and I did, too.
