Hi gang..I would like to start up a collection of children Newf books. It can be all ages. Does anyone have a list of any? It is just something I would like to get started for my nephew.
Thanks...

Eloise's breeder writes and illustrates children's books and she has done a couple with newfs. One of them is Old Dog Cora and the Christmas Tree, that is a very sweet story about a family that uses their newfs to pull the sled to get the Christmas tree every year.

She also did another book, that isn't actually about newfs, but it has a newf puppy in the illustrations. The book is about where animals live in the winter. It's called The First Day of Winter. Actually Eloise was a puppy at the time that her breeder was drawing the pictures for the First day of winter book and she said she used the litter to sketch the puppy in the book. So I always say it's Eloise! lol

I know! I was so excited when I went to her house and she was showing me how she made the wood blocks for the illustrations and she showed how the book went together. It was very neat! Her and her husband are very cool people!

There is always one of my personal favorites.. Newf by Marie Killilea.. Many of you of a certain age might remember reading Karen and With Love from Karen. Karen has cerebral palsy and begged her parents for a newf which she showed when she was little.. Newf is a great book for kids....

Then there are all the books about Seaman, the newf that went on the Lewis and Clark expedition. I think that the books all depend on the ager group you are looking for, picture book, young adult..etc.

Just some thoughts...
