This book is a compilation of thirty-three short adventure stories about a dog named Wooffer, the animals who share his world and how they all become friends of the truest kind. Although he is only a little dog, his brave heart and gentle spirit changes the lives of each of the animals in small ways that make a big difference to them all. Every animal, from the matriarch of the field mice, Old Agnes, Mother of Thousands, to Cho Lee Yen, the proud peacock, has had a better life because Wooffer is their good friend. These are their stories.

This review is from: WOOFFER: Stories You Can Read To Your Dog (And Other Children) (Paperback)
" Woofer, Stories You Can Read to Your Dog (and Other Children,)"by Betty Fasig is a collection of stories from the viewpoint of this delightful dog. One truly steps over the threshold into Woofer's world; you see everything from the (quite low to the ground) dog's viewpoint. Every tale is a charming saga from the life of Woofer and his friends. Not since Anna Sewell have I read works that offer an animal's view point this way. The stories are wonderfully suited for younger audiences, and the action as well as the characters will enthrall them. Actually, this adult reader must admit to being thoroughly enthralled, as well . There are many clever descriptions, fun puns, and unusual twists to be discovered within the stories. My favorite is the squirrel family who are all " Branch Executives," but a close second is the mouse family "of thousands." Throughout, country animals are featured, from everyday birds to the newcomers Sandy and Sandra Crane, and all the small animals one does not think about ordinarily. The writer here truly looked outside the human world, to find interaction and wonderful, engaging stories going on right in her back garden. This lovely book is a wonderful reminder of what fun it can be to read. Nancy Lindley-Gauthier

A Dog Gone Good Book!,
By Jean Pike (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: WOOFFER: Stories You Can Read To Your Dog (And Other Children) (Paperback)
Author Betty Fasig has created nothing short of magic with Wooffer Stories, a delightful compilation of thirty-three tales chronicling the life and times of a loveable pup named Wooffer and his furry animal friends. With her uncanny knack for letting her readers glimpse inside the minds and hearts of these humble creatures, and her beautifully poetic writing style, Ms. Fasig has created a volume that is destined to become a classic in children's literature. Five stars are not enough.
