The Lighthouse Dog

32 pp. | Orca | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 1-55143-073-8
(4) K-3 When the lighthouse captain's wife brings home a Newfoundland puppy, trouble ensues. The giant dog chews on the captain's favorite slippers and eats everything in sight. During a storm, however, she earns her keep by rescuing a lost fisherman. Although somewhat awkwardly written, this tale of "what Newfies do" is told with humor and accompanied by appealing ink and watercolor illustrations.
