Format:Paperback
A wonderful, typical James Herriott tale about 2 border collie pups. A lovely read aloud book, especially for children familiar with the area and the work of sheep dogs and great for kids who are not familiar with these things. It sparked an interesting discussion with my class of inner city kids, who had no idea about the countryside. As a country girl, who has spent much time in the Dales, the illustrations were accurate and very comforting.

Again a great book, perfect for my 6 year old daughter who has reached fluent reading. A nice length of story. So impressed we bought the set of about 6 of these books, just lovely stories. Glad we came across these gems.

AN ABSOLUTE DELIGHT
5 Oct 2006
Format:School & Library Binding
This particular Herriot story has been and is one of my favoites out of his several books. There is something quite charming and human here that is difficult to put a finger on. Being a dog lover of course helps, but this is the type of story that will appeal to just about everyone. Only One Woof is the story of a sheep dog who did just that, uttered only one woof in his entire life. This wonderful story has here been made into a children's books with wonderful illustrations by Peter Barrett. The art work alone is worth the price of the book. I have read this one to classes and it is universally love by the kids. I highly recommend this one.

A Delightful Retelling Of A Favorite Story
16 Dec 2003
Format:Paperback
When I first read the chapter in an earlier Herriot book relating the story of the silent young sheepdog, I was inexplicably moved. Later in life, when I had the extreme good fortune to become the owner of a border collie pup, I named her Gyp in honor of Mr. Herriot's wonderful tale. This particular version for children is a delight for readers young and old alike. Highly recommended!
