Not really about dogs, this wonderful book is more about the people who owned them. A highly readable, historically accurate narrative of the life and times of a family of Norwegian immigrants who settled on the Iowa prairie in the 1800s, this book is packed with stories rich in lost details of times gone by. Peder Gustav Tjernagel was a father to many children, and each night he took it upon himself to put his youngsters to bed. As he did so, he regaled them with family history, tucked neatly and humorously inside stories he told them about the family dogs who'd been owned over the years. The children imagined they were merely hearing stories about the family dogs, but were really learning the rich history of an amazing family. This is a wonderful read; highly recommended. Although not a children's book, it is suitable to be read aloud to children,while rich and amusing enough to be savored by adults. Includes some photos of the actual family.
