Bowser The Hound

This is a wonderful book for the pre-teenager. I read it more than 40 years ago and just recently reread it with my 10 year old neice. She enjoyed it as much as I had all those many years ago. Throughout the book we share Bowser's adventures, both happy & sad and learn a few of life's lessons along the way. Although never overly sentimental, the book does touch your heart. In an overly mechanized & many times rushed world, this book is a refreshing look back to simpler yet still oh so important values.
