Blurb:
"Old Drumble is no ordinary sheep dog. As his master, Andy the Drover, tells it - he's had some pretty amazing adventures. Like the time he persuaded a frightened mob of sheep to cross a flooded river ... on a tightrope. Or the time he had to get Old Nosy, Andy's horse, out of a tree.
Each week over one long hot summer, a small boy is amazed by the stories Andy has to tell about his four-footed mate, the smartest, cunningest, cleverest sheep dog there ever was ..."
My Review:
I recommend this book to people who like emotional, exiting books. One of the things I liked about it is that at the end it has a glossary with 228 words in it!!! (and yes, I counted!) It has words in the story like 'taradiddle' which means 'nonsense' and 'spalpeen' which means 'boy'.
Jack Lasenby has a gift for making a book feel like you are in the story. It pulled me in and made me want to read more. I rate it 9/10 and recommend it to anyone who can read!
