I admit that I was first drawn to this book having had Shelties for many years. But this is much more than just that.
Based on a real-life Sheltie, Seamus to the Rescue! is the third in the Seamus series of childrens books. A collection of stories, the events and situations are told from the viewpoint of Seamus and his animal friends.
This book could be read alone by a grade-school child, or it could be read by an adult with a child. The animals speak in a simple, clipped manner. The author refers to this as Seamus-Speak, and includes a glossary for understanding the animals speech.
Black and white illustrations depict the situations in each chapter. In addition, there is a section with actual photos of the real Seamus, and the authors family.
An appendix gives a synopsis and discussion guide for each chapter. Included in the guides are the morals and values stressed and suggested questions for discussions.
James Beverly is degreed in childrens clinical psychology. He worked a lifetime with children and families. He is a parent and a grandparent. Now retired, James and Seamus plan to use their time on more adventures. There is a Seamus Fan club which offers many Seamus items, as well.
I wholeheartedly recommend Seamus to kids and their families,
to read together, especially.
