"This book outlines what a Skye Terrier puppy might experience from birth until adulthood. Especially heartwarming is that the story is told by a puppy that is born in his own words! The young reader would understand from beginning to end what a puppy might be experiencing as it goes through life. The drawings are very well done giving a visual image to the words."-Patricia Flanagan, PresidentSkye Terrier Club of America"I love how this book shares so many lessons with the reader. Puppy growth through adulthood, purebred dog heritage, Skye diversity, and risk for extinction, Skye breed info and history. It will teach and resonate with young and old alike. Every page is a delight and so charming. What a marvelous illustrator!"-Karen Jennings Turnbull, PresidentColumbine Skye Terrier Club"For many years, members of the Potomac Skye Terrier Club have been quite active in reading to students in school visits and participating in public education activities. We often read a children's version of the famous and true story of Greyfriars Bobby. I am delighted that we now have a superb new educational resource specifically about Skye Terriers in this charming new book by longtime Skye owner and author, Judith Tabler. Featuring a range of illustrations, the book takes the reader on a wonderful journey from the day a puppy is born (whelped) until he/she meets his/her new family. This book gives insights into one of the oldest and rarest terrier breeds, with excellent lessons on animal care and responsible ownership."-Michael J. Pesare, PresidentPotomac Skye Terrier Club

It''s 1901 and Theodore Roosevelt has just become the 26th president of the United States. He arrives in Washington, DC, with his wife, 6 children, and no less than 43 family pets: dogs, cats, horses, pigs, bears, badgers and many others. None, however, are a match for an infestation of rats in the White House kitchens.As the rats multiply, the Roosevelt children attempt to bring the problem to their father''s attention, but "TR" is too busy making history-meeting with Booker T. Washington, building the Panama Canal, mediating coal strikes, inspiring the Teddy Bear, and designing national parks.The Roosevelt children love their new home, but hate the rats. Only when TR wins re-election does he come up with a solution to the vermin problem, in the form of a 44th pet.Meticulously researched and accompanied by charming, period illustrations, Rats in the White House will delight both animal lovers and history lovers.
