Review by Pam Rybinski
This one’s for the kids, or the very young at heart. Illustrations by David Slonim are more suited to an eight or ten-year old reader than an adult, but the plot-line is unusual and captivating. The persona is the canine, J.C. himself, interpreting the world from the perspective of a puppy growing up with human hunting people. He tries and tries to be the best bird-dog ever, but everyone misunderstands him. If you feel like a really quick read, try this book. Bill Wallace has written an entire series of books about dogs that may become favorites of the young people in your life.
