Love this book since I was a child so glad I found this version again. Apparently they don't make it any more

One of My Personal Favorites!

Kipling was a master children's story writers and this story is one of his best!

Beautifully illustrated

The gorgeous illustrations caught my eye and so I picked up the book for the first time. What a wonderful story. Kipling has a way of writing that just flows and makes reading the story out loud a pleasure just to hear the words.

Members Reviews:

Accurately and honest

this book is an incredibly touching story. Many men and women come home with visible and non visible injuries. The author did a fantastic job of telling a story that is very close to me. When she wrote the book I never knew what an impact it would have on me my children and my grandchildren. I was the fortunate one to be teams with Tori and Julia telling the story of a serviceman coming home and receiving a service dog was done in a thoughtful and accurate manner. she knows firsthand the challenges of servicemen and women face and who better could tell this story.

A Graceful Transition Into Life Long Changes with a Service Dog - great tool for helping kids cope with these changes...

Change is hard enough but explaining difficult changes to children can be even tougher. I loved the way this book centralizes the focus on the service dog and not the injury of the parent helping children relate to how the trained dog helps the whole family transition into life long changes gracefully.

So nice to see books for the children of disabled veterans ...

So nice to see books for the children of disabled veterans - it may sound like a horrible subject, but it is the reality of many families and not something easy for a kid to understand.

very good book

This is a great book for all children and adults to read. My family loved it. I recommend it to everyone

This is a Fairytale of Johnstown, PA's Morley Dog. In this version the history of the dog is revealed with the magic of how the dog comes to life to save people.

The history traces it back to a meteor that was used in the metal of the mold, and the mold itself being made in the Black Forest of Germany. You know, the Black Forest of giants, witches, princesses, and wizards.

Morley

Thebook was OK. Not what I expected. It was more for children than adults. Maybe because I live in Johnstown and know about Morley's Dog I was disappointed. A little too far fetched for me. Check outWinter Is My Middle Name

Good story for the grandkids

Got the book for my grandchildren and they all listened intently. It has just enough whimsy to keep them listening and interested.

Members Reviews:

Fractured, funny, rewarding

I am a big fan of Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching books, ("The Wee Free Men"), because I very much appreciate it when an author takes standard fairy tale conventions, turns them a bit askew, introduces a really appealing new character or two, and then spices it all up with witty dialogue and deadpan funny narrative.

Well, "beleaguered but brave" Gracie Gillypot is a direct descendant of Tiffany, but written for perhaps a just slightly younger audience. The plot is complicated but easy enough to follow. The secondary characters are nicely drawn. There are lessons to be learned here, and good triumphs, but it is all wrapped up in a very entertaining package. I would think a young reader would be very pleased about finishing this, and about getting some of the sly humor. It's just a book to feel good about.

love it!

I tend to use my kindle as a sort of preview tool, giving me a chance to try before I buy. For every ten or so books I read I usually find one or two I would actually purchase in physical form. I was hooked on this book from the first page. I will most definitely purchase more books from this talented author. I love her skill at making the reader laugh and feel as though they have been transported to a new world. Wonderful book

Five Stars

My daughter loves this series!

Daughter loves it

My 8.5 year old daughter loves this book and is already asking for the next in the series. A fun book with a little spooky to make the book interesting but tons of fun.

Fantastic YA fantasy series

Witty, well-written, fresh take on ye olde 'mistreated orphan is actually super-special magical creature who saves the kingdom'. Appropriate for ages 5 and up. Currently re-reading this one with my 6 year old and 9 year old; they both love it. The drawings (about 10 per book) are funny and add to the overall entertaining tone of the books. Highly recommended.

Title: 25 Farty Christmas Stories Rhyming Picture Book

Author: Timmie Guzzmann

Narrator: Bryan Hunt

Format: Unabridged

Length: 16 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-08-14

Publisher: Inge Baum

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Kids just love the holiday season and they enjoy celebrating their own way. Some kids love the more traditional countdown calendars while the cooler kids know that there is only one way to countdown to Christmas and that is the farty way.

Timmie Guzzmann the author of the First Farting Advent Calendar knows because he is a kid himself and there is one thing that he even does better than farting and that is picking up trends because he loves to listen to his pals and the other kids at school. Lately he picked up lots of kid conversations where kids all around him just told him that they are annoyed by these lame chocolate countdown calendars that their parents have been giving them for years.

Timmie had an epiphany right at the spot and that is how the fart calendar was born.

He teamed up with his good friend Randolph Meretzenischt from poetry class to form a team of unbeatable fart rhyming artists. They got together and shared some crazy fart ideas and put them into fun and rhyming poetry a la Dr. Seuss.

Timmie the fart expert shared some cheerful ideas how farts can be transformed into the Christmas season and Randolph transformed Timmie's Christmas fart disgust into cheerful and seasonal greeting type of poetry that sounds like Christmas fart poetry world class.
