Perfect entry point for Lewis & Clark books My daughter, age 8, is dog obsessed, and when I spied this book in the library, I knew it would be a perfect way to get her interested in the amazing tail of the Corps of Discovery and even non-fiction, real-life history in general. The book is very readable and accompanied by beautiful, lush, full-color, painted illustrations. Her favorite chapter is that which describes Lewis' near-brush with death while in the inadvertent path of a buffalo and Seaman's heroic alert. I read this book aloud with her, and soon after, she asked to check-out more Lewis & Clark books at the library to read on her own. Success!

Lewis and Clark and Me: A Dog's Tale I loved this book so much. The two things I like most about it was the action and the beautiful pictures by Michael Dooling. They should write another book together! I would
Kelly's reveiw Lewis and Clark and Me by Laurie Myers is an awesome book! The book shows the adventures of Lewis and Clark from Lewis's dog Seaman's point of view. The story takes place from November 16,1803 to September 11,1803. The book goes threw many months.
Lewis and Clark are two adventurous men who like to help other people. Seaman is a loyal and helpful dog who loves to hunt. Lewis dresses different than any other man, Clark is a tall man with a low voice, and Seaman is a large black dog with a low but loud bark and growl. Their hobbies are hunting and sailing. Seaman can jump off the boat and bring back dead animals for them to eat. Lewis and Clark are from saint Britton. They are middle aged and Seaman is about five.
This is Seaman's story from his first meeting with Lewis to being mistaken for a bear by some Indians. The story starts when Lewis buys Seaman for 20 dallers. One time a baby calf followed Lewis but couldn't get up the boat ladder so they left him behind. Suddenly that felt very funny to Seaman. Imagine a buffalo calf thinking it could be part of our lives. My favorite part of the story is when a beaver bites Seaman. In order to find out what happens next you have to read the book!
I gave this book 5 stars because it is very interesting. It had a lot of detail and action. This book is remarkable! I loved it! I think everyone should read it. The author Laurie Myers is one of my favorite authors because she loves dogs. I like how she gives you a lot of detail. The illustrator Michael Dooling never leaves a blank spot in the pictures. The pictures are very realistic. I would recommend this book to everyone because it is very exiting. In order to prove that you have to read the book.
