Mr. Huneck&#8217;s Sally books are such favorites with the whole family.  Our house is grieving for his house.<br \/>\n<P><br \/>\n<P><\/p>\n<h1>Book Review &#8211; Sally Goes to the Beach**<\/h1>\n<p>When it&#8217;s bedtime in our house, I trudge upstairs with the boys and lie down in Preemie Feet&#8217;s room.  He is put to bed first, so I listen to his books before getting up and moving to Little Feet&#8217;s room for chapter books.  Preemie Feet has been reading the Sally series of books and they are my favorite, by far.  Stephen Huneck, artist and author, creates these great books based on his dog, Sally.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/cynthomas.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/sally2.jpg\" alt=\"sally2\" title=\"sally2\" width=\"510\" height=\"680\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-409\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\nSally has a big personality and the Sally hardcover books we take out of the library are just as large.  Filled with humor and Sally&#8217;s escapades in this human world, the author captures the fun and laughable attitude of dog.  The illustrations are printed from woodcuts that Mr. Huneck creates in his studio in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, a beautiful part of the US called the NorthEast Kingdom.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/cynthomas.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/sally1.jpg\" alt=\"sally1\" title=\"sally1\" width=\"510\" height=\"680\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-410\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<em><strong>Sally Goes to the Beach<\/strong><\/em> describes a trip by ferry to a beach community by a group of dogs and focuses on Sally&#8217;s experiences on her trip.  Preemie Feet frequently giggles throughout the book, which is a magical sound.  And each page is a pleasure for the eyes.  If you haven&#8217;t read these books to your kids or your dog, please do so immediately.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nStephen Huneck has his own website, where he tells his own amazing story, gives you a peek into the beautiful NorthEast Kingdom and sells prints of his art.
