Sally Goes to the Mountains

I just love this book. The author writes a sweet and simple story told from Sally's point of view but what really captures you are the beautiful illustrations. Stephen Huneck's work is sold at gallerys across the country and many of the pieces that he sells are images from the books. I think that they are wood carvings/ cutting? Excuse my ignorance. We also have Sally goes to the farm. Both are lighthearted and fun. They really make us all smile. For anyone with a lab in their life this is a must have!

Sally Goes to the Mountains is a book I would give as a gift to any dog lover from 4 to 94. It's colorful illustrations, charming and witty captions, subject matter and size makes it the perfect coffee table book. I'll cherish mine forever. I can't wait for the next "Sally" book and plan to visit the huneck.com website to choose a special framed print from this very special book.

In Sally Goes To The Mountains, author/illustrator Stephen Huneck draws upon his award-winning expertise to take young readers on a romp with a fun-loving black Labrador named Sally. Sally goes for a ride to the mountains where she encounters bears, moose, rabbits, and skunks! There are berries to pick, sticks to fetch, and a lake to swim in. Huneck's bright, superbly crafted woodcut prints perfectly capture the joy of a dog's outing in the mountains for young readers. Also highly recommended is the earlier volume of Sally's adventures, Sally Goes To The Beach (0810941864, [price]).

I bought this book for my mom as a present. She already owns the other "Sally" books and loved this one too. The illustrations are beautiful and very whitty. My favorite is the giant moose with Sally. The Sally books aren't just for Lab owners or children--any pet lover will enjoy them.

After buying and reading "Sally Goes to the Beach" I couldn't wait to go out and buy this book-"Sally Goes to the Mountains!" Not only does my daughter love this book but all of my friends and their friends. Anyone with a dog (or not) will love this book! The images are bright, colorful and fun. In this book we to go to the mountains with Sally and experience fun adventures with her. I would highly recommend this book for anyone with dogs, a sense of humor and taste for adventure. Not to mention my daughter who keeps asking what and where Sally's next adventure might be. I know I can't wait to find out!
