Customer Reviews

Too cute to be real

Mr.Winkle is the cutest dog in the universe. He is so cute I sometimes doubt he is even real. I love all his books and my daughter fell in love with the Mr. Winkle stuffed animal. She is now taking her own Mr. Winkle pictures. I only gave it four stars because I WANT MORE PICTURES!

Celebrating the Underdogs of History

Well, Mr. Winkle is back again - tongue and all! "A Winkle In Time" is the historic depiction of untold heroes. His cuteness portrays and tells the story of life's underdogs through in his own way. From Arab Architects to Laika (the Russian Space dog)he covers the globe and beyond!

A delightful collection of very brief biographical portraits

A Winkle In Time: Mr. Winkle Celebrates The Underdogs Of History is a delightful collection of very brief biographical portraits of often-overlooked champions and visionaries around the world, ranging from the Japanese woman who wrote the world's first novel, to the Idaho potato farmer who invented television. Full-color photographs featuring a lovable puppy in each scene of history add a unique twist to Lara Jo Regan's engaging and educational picturebook read for children 6 to 12.

A HISTORY LESSON WITH A DASH OF HUMOR!!

They've done it again! Mr. Winkle and "his human",Lara Jo Regan,are back with their latest book, "A Winkle in Time". This book features facts about the underdogs of history. Most of these folks were unknown to me until I read this book! Here they finally get their stories told with Mr. Winkles playing dress up as each of these quite heroes. My personal favorite pictures in the book are Mr. Winkles working hard as Rosie the Riveter and the one of him horsing around as Kentucky Derby winner, Northern Dancer! This book is fun and educational for the whole family. Don't miss this cute and cuddly canine's latest work of art!!
