About the Book

The story of “The Adventures of Bird Dog and Friends” began with me telling our daughter Samantha, a nightly bedtime story about a dog that could fly....the stories continued until she grew out of the fairy-tale fantasy era. The characters in the book are Bird Dog (Blondie a Golden Labrador; Sam's dog), along with her friends, Bumble Bee, Swallow, Opossum and Monkey. Other key characters are Rocky the horse and Claw the eagle. The book will capture the imagination of children and instill the values of friendship, teamwork, caring for one another, kindness, achievement and good manners within a framework of adventure. The book has been superbly illustrated by Australian artist Leigh Brown and brilliantly designed by Top Dog Advertising in Brisbane, Australia. "THE BOOK WAS HONORED IN AMERICA BY USA BOOK NEWS AS A CATEGORY FINALIST IN THE NATIONAL BEST BOOKS 2010 AWARDS". Enjoy... Stephen Penberthy Author {email: sh.penberthy@bigpond.com}

Customer Reviews

"I just love this book. It introduces kids to a world of possibilities if they just believe in themselves and have the confidence to follow their dreams. It's a fun read together with old fashioned principles like the importance of friendship and helping people, manners and good old courtesy.

"My grandchildren can't wait for me to read this book to them each night. It is the first one they look for every time they come to visit. They love the adventures of the gorgeous flying dog Blondie and her friends and the whimsical colourful illustrations.

This Christmas I am buying three copies of ""Bird Dog"" one for each of them to find under the tree. I know they will be delighted! "

Its no surprise the author of this book has been acknowledged for his work. What a magical journey for children to be taken on (or adults!). Highly recommended.

I just connected to LinkedIn and as a gift fell from the sky, I just read your post. There is no hazard but beautiful encounters on this land despite the geographical distances that separate us. I am very touched Stephen to see my name appear among all the people who love the animals prodondément and who defend them everyday. I took great pleasure reading this excerpt from your book because it shares so many values in a very short excerpt and which are also mine: educating children about animal welfare and their rights empathy, care, compassion, kindness, love, integrity. I will be happy to see your animation series as well. Thank you for your good wishes for Christmas because I take your gesture as a wonderful gift from the heart, the man of heart that you are. I appreciate you enormously, know it Stephen. I kiss you friendly. Vanina BESSE (On LinkedIn)

Thank you for sending the Adventures of Bird Dog and Friends for me to review. I shared this with some of our people and they were thrilled to read the book to their little ones. In this fast paced age of high tech, we tend to forget that reading such quality books with our little children is key to assisting them developing those life skills that are necessary to become more caring and responsible citizens. I highly recommend 'The Adventures of Bird Dog and Friends' to all parents and also librarians for their young audience. J.Gordon Boyd President and CEO FRONTLINE Task Force on Public Safety Inc.
