Just Like Floss

A must have for Border Collie fanciers! Also makes for a good childrens book in general. The storyline is cute, the illustrations from cover to cover are beautiful, and the artist depicts the breed characteristics splendidly. I highly recommend it!

My youngest very much enjoyed having the Kim Lewis books read to him from the ages of about one to four. They were his favourite books.Kim Lewis started writing the books when her children were young because she could not find any books that showed farming as she thought it ought to be showed. The scenes reflect the Northumberland countryside where her husband is a sheep farmer. The children in the books are her children. Floss is/was their dog Fly. They are a nice timeless read.

I recently purchased Just Like Floss for my 4 year old, and it has become an instant favorite. Just like Floss tells the story of a border collie and her pups, and how the children on the farm go about chosing the puppy they will keep. The illustrations are beautiful, and the story line is one that all will enjoy. It reveals to even the very young reader, some of the characteristics of border collies. Having owned a border collie on a working farm, I enjoy reading this book to my daughter, as it brings back pleasant memories for her. I reccomend Just like Floss to owners of border collies or the general dog enthusiast.
