Seaman's Journal: On the Trail with Lewis and Clark

My daughter is 7 and a definate animal lover. The fact that we have a couple of newfoundlands only added to the love for this book. In fact my dogs gave this to my daughter for Valentines Day. The illustrations are abosolutely beautiful!! As a second grader, she is able to read this book by herself with help with a few words. She loves the fact that this book, although fition, is based on true events. She has brought it to show everyone. I'm sure you or your animal lover will enjoy the tale of Seaman as he travels with Lewis and Clark.

I used this book with my homeschool curriculum and my children loved it, the pictures are great.the content of this book helps to bring everyone for the journey coming from the eyes of such a lovable Newfoundland.

This is a great book. I am over 40 and love this book by Ms. Eubank. Speaking about the hardcover, it comes with a Newfoundland dog book mark that is attached to the book by a ribbon. Children love the attached dog. I love the pictures and the Lewis and Clark story as Ms. Eubank tells it. Since the story is written from the point of view of Captain Meriwether Lewis's dog, it is not, of course, "accurate," but the expedition story itself is well told through this creative avenue. I have seen more children use this book to learn the story of Lewis and Clark than any other and they never want to put the book down.

I recently bought this book at a Newfoundland fundraiser and love it! The book is simple enough that my 4 year old can understand it and engaging enough that I enjoy reading it to him. I love the art work...especially since the dog on the cover looks just like our Newfoundland. I would suggest this book to any Newfy lover or parent.
