Book Reviews of Lewis and Clark and Me: A Dog's Tale
Book Review: Kelly's reveiw
Summary: 5 Stars
Lewis and Clark and Me by Laurie Myers is an awesome book! The book shows the adventures of Lewis and Clark from Lewis's dog Seaman's point of view. The story takes place from November 16,1803 to September 11,1803. The book goes threw many months.
Lewis and Clark are two adventurous men who like to help other people. Seaman is a loyal and helpful dog who loves to hunt. Lewis dresses different than any other man, Clark is a tall man with a low voice, and Seaman is a large black dog with a low but loud bark and growl. Their hobbies are hunting and sailing. Seaman can jump off the boat and bring back dead animals for them to eat. Lewis and Clark are from saint Britton. They are middle aged and Seaman is about five.
This is Seaman's story from his first meeting with Lewis to being mistaken for a bear by some Indians. The story starts when Lewis buys Seaman for 20 dallers. One time a baby calf followed Lewis but couldn't get up the boat ladder so they left him behind. Suddenly that felt very funny to Seaman. Imagine a buffalo calf thinking it could be part of our lives. My favorite part of the story is when a beaver bites Seaman. In order to find out what happens next you have to read the book!
I gave this book 5 stars because it is very interesting. It had a lot of detail and action. This book is remarkable! I loved it! I think everyone should read it. The author Laurie Myers is one of my favorite authors because she loves dogs. I like how she gives you a lot of detail. The illustrator Michael Dooling never leaves a blank spot in the pictures. The pictures are very realistic. I would recommend this book to everyone because it is very exiting. In order to prove that you have to read the book.
Summary of Lewis and Clark and Me: A Dog's Tale
A dog's account of one of the most extraordinary expeditions of all time.
"Dog and man can fit together like no others do. Lewis and I had that fit....
How did we get that close? I think the wilderness had something to do with it. Lewis and I would have been close anywhere, but the wilderness brought out the best in both of us. We were made for that territory."
In 1803, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set off on a journey to explore the vast territory of the United States west of the Mississippi River. Accompanying Lewis and Clark and their team of explorers through this uncharted wilderness was Lewis' dog Seaman.
Lewis and Clark and Me is Seaman's story. From his first meeting with Lewis, to being mistaken for a bear by Indians who had never seen such a large dog, to his encounters with wild animals both familiar and unfamiliar, Seaman's tales are filled with the joys of companionship and the tingling excitement of adventure.
Seaman's stories are based information provided in the explorers' journals. The book include many of these direct quotes from the original text as well as a detailed map showing the highlights of this amazing expedition.
