Relation Conducive To Books The Dog Who Wouldn't Be

Farley Mowat's best loved book tells the splendidly entertaining story of his boyhood on the Canadian prairies. Mutt's pedigree was uncertain, but his madness was indisputable. He climbed trees and ladders, rode passenger in an open car wearing goggles and displaying hunting skills that bordered on sheer genius. He was a marvelous dog, worthy of an unusual boy growing up in a raw, untamed wilderness.

Piece Containing Books The Dog Who Wouldn't Be

I think this book belongs on the historical fiction shelf but it is GOOD historical fiction. It is written as non-fiction but as Farley Mowat himself says, I never let the facts get in the way of the truth.Mutt is a great dog and this is a love story about a boy and his dog. I enjoyed almost everything about this and laughed a lot. But, I thought the prank played on the cat lady was downright cruel and Farley Mowat showed a disrespect for women in that chapter. I also was really upset that they

This is a cute book about the childhood dog of Farley Mowat. One thing I like about Mowats writing is he uses broad language and vocabulary. The version I read was a Scholastics publication which means the book is geared towards kids. I found myself looking up several words to verify their meanings. The plot is very simple and follows entertaining events from Mutts life. Although I found fun chapters werent really about Mutt and only had him inserted briefly in the chapter. Overall a great

A boy and his dog....for so it is with two who live one life together. This is a brilliant work!

Ive heard The Dog Who Wouldnt Be described as perhaps Mowats best work. Im not sure if thats true but its a great read.Mowat had an amazing childhood full of experiences with wildlife in the great outdoors. Mutt the dog was Mowats companion as a kid, among a great menagerie that included owls, snakes, gophers and more. Mutt argued with the family, wore goggles in the car and couldnt seem to leave a skunk alone. He was certainly a dog worth writing a book about. Mowats bemused language and tall

Warning:Mutt dies at the end and it's very sad. However, Farley Mowat wrote one of the most moving sentences sentences I've ever read about his death: "And so the pact of timelessness between us was broken and I went from him into the darkening tunnel of the years." Like James Herriott, Farley Mowatt may tailor the truth for the sake of storytelling, but Mutt's tale--sorry--is funny and rewarding. Just know you'll probably cry.

This is a children's story that will engage all readers. Farley Mowat writes this light hearted story about his childhood dog and other various animals that resided with his family in his youth. Mutt was purchased by his mother for 4 cents and he was well worth it. A smart dog who learned to walk the fences, climb ladders, retrieve birds but would not come when called. He had a mind of his own and his antics entertained his family, the various communities they live in and readers for years. Also

Did the man change his outlook when he grew up? There's an awful lot of hunting, meat-eating, and caging of wild animals in this book. I might have loved it when I was a kid and into memoirs of the old days with pets, but now I just couldn't. I also had a lot of trouble with Dad's antics - how did Mom put up with him plus Farley plus Mutt?! And though the bookcover says 'illustrated by Paul Galdone' there are *no* pictures inside, and the dog on the cover does not look like the dog described.
