Product Description
He is nameless.
He is homeless.
He is friendless.
He is lost. Until he is found . . . by a team of mutts who shelter him and teach him how to survive the wilds of the city park. And so he becomes Waggit, the best hunter and tracker in the pack, and the dog with the most powerfully wagging tail. Waggit grows to love his team, especially its leader, Tazar, and his best friend, an old dog named Lowdown. But life in the park is dangerous and uncertain. In winter, food and warmth are scarce. Another team of wild dogs is a constant menace. And always, there is the fear of capture by park rangers. Waggit can't help feeling that something is missing . . . something warm and cozy and . . . human. Then one day everything changes and Waggit must face a new threat and a new choice. Peter Howe's tale of an abandoned puppy's search for a home is an exciting mix of humor, adventure, and suspense. Most of all, it is a story of how love can turn strangers into family.

I loved Waggit and all his friends. It was a really good story.
There were parts that made me really, really sad. I loved all the dogs. It madeyou want to keep reading because it was kind of like a mystery and made you
wonder what would happen next. Waggit has all these adventures and the
writer makes you feel like you are really there. You could picture it really
well in your head. The writer uses big vocabulary words, which is
good. I liked the glossary and all the dogs lingo. I liked it that all the
dogs had all their personalities and you could picture people as the dogs. I
hope to meet up with them all again. The drawings and map were good too.

"Waggit's TALE" August 24, 2008

My husband saw a review for "Waggit's TALE" in the Sunday "Phildelphia Inquirer" earlier this summer. Since my little, white German Shepherd Dog is a spitting image of Waggit, I just had to get the book.
Although touted as a children's book, I think it can be enjoyed by everyone. I specifically bought the book to read with my 8 year old niece, but have enjoyed it on my own.
There is nothing better than life with a dog, or two, or three or more. Waggit can remind all of us about what is important in life. Dogs keep it simple, and simplicity is so underrated in the hustle and bustle most of us have come to know as "life". Everyone should have a dog, and this book!
Regards,
Andrea and Fiona

I really enjoyed this book! The story had lots of different adventures in it. It was funny at times and it was sad at times. There was something new at the end of every chapter that made me want to read the next chapter. I highly recommend this book to other readers. (Age 9)
great read! August 13, 2008
