This book is about an explorer whose name is John Muir. I didn't know who he was but I know that there is a school by us that has his name on it. The book is called "Stickeen" because that is the dog's name that goes with him.

In the beginning it says that it is a true story. This book happened way back in 1880. That was a long time ago. He was exploring on glaciers and he took the dog named Stickeen with him. It was very dangerous going on the glaciers because there were big crevasses in them that they could fall down. I didn't know if they were going to make it across or not.

This book is about a puppy named Slippers. He doesn't like to take naps. But he gets in a lot of trouble; he didn't help. When he goes in his doghouse he first closes one eye and then the other eye because he doesn't want to fall asleep.
