Wonderful book about the Lewis and Clark expedition. The children in my class love the excitement and pacing. I appreciate Seaman's historically accuracy while remaining gentle. It is fun to read about this dog even as an adult!

We read this for school. It was ok. Not as boring as I thought it would be, but sometimes I thought they just put the dog in the scene because the book was supposed to be about him. It didn’t add anything to the plot.

Delightful historical fiction, perfect for our unit on Lewis & Clark and westward expansion. We all loved it, and I got mocked (by the children) for choking up at the poignant ending.
