Whichever legend or story may or may not be true, the classic tale of a dog searching for its way back home is legendary and a true Children’s classic. This Lassie, also a female border collie is loved only by her young master and ends up saving the day. Lassie was also the name of a dog in the story by Elizabeth Gaskell called “The Half-brothers”. In this book he writes how in Lyme Regis, close the where the HMS Formidable sank in 1915, the legend of a dog named Lassie who brought a sailor who had been washed ashore in a lifeboat back from death has lasted ever since. This dog appears in the “Shipwreck Guide to Dorset and South Devon”, written by Nigel Clarke. Lassie may have been inspired by a real life dog who saved the life of a sailor during WW1. Greenall Bridge, where the story starts and ends, is a (fictional) coal mining community in Yorkshire where “of all places in the world it is here that the dog is really king.” Everyone knows and loves Lassie! And like the dog, he never forgot his Yorkshire roots even when he moved away to the US. A remarkable journey enough for anyone but especially so for a border collie.Īnd the author based the village where Lassie searches for on the place he was born – Menston in Yorkshire. From Scotland, all the way across Yorkshire, England. Imagine being taken so far away from your family and then having to find your way home again. A booktrail via the eyes of a dog is a very special journey indeed. From books to television to the silver screen, Lassie remains one of the most adventurous, courageous and loyal friends in the history of popular culture.

And I’ve seen people try with some other animals too. Since it came out, people from around the world have started teaching their own dogs some people have started teaching cats. What I wanted was to show people what’s possible (in) this whole new era of interspecies communication. I think the book will have an even bigger impact now.

In the book, Gerald McGrew is a kid who, when visiting a zoo, finds that the exotic animals are "not good enough". If I Ran the Zoo is often credited with the first printed modern English use of the word "nerd," in the sentence "And then, just to show them, I'll sail to Ka-Troo/And Bring Back an It-Kutch, a Preep, and a Proo,/A Nerkle, a Nerd, and a Seersucker too!" The book is likely a tribute to a child's imagination, because it ends with a reminder that all of the extraordinary creatures exist only in McGrew's head. The book is written in anapestic tetrameter, Seuss's usual verse type, and illustrated in Seuss's trademark pen and ink style.

Though he may act as if he is nonchalant about the team and the sport, Tim needs the sport the most to help ground himself. While he may not excel at school, he is incredibly gifted and naturally talented to play fullback on his high school's football team.

Martha had been a mainstay in our house for many years at that point - we referred to her, as many households do, by first name only as though she was the neighbor down the street whose annual holiday open house you always looked forward to even though it always made you feel like your life was a little inadequate. At the time she was a grad student, who, among working on her master’s thesis and TA-ing would often bake and occasionally throw parties at her apartment for the other people in her program.
