Dog Trots Globe - To Paris & Provence by Sheron Long is written from the viewpoint of her Sheltie Chula. The book comes off more as a short commentary on the different places in Paris rather than the story from the view of a dog. This would be a great book for an early French class to read to get an idea of the culture. But, it doesn't fit in the youth genre where I expected it to fit. The title gives the impression of something a 10 year old would enjoy reading. It's not. If you want to read about a dog in Paris, read something else. If you want to learn a little about Paris in a short book, this will work for you.

I requested this book on Early Reviewers mainly because of it was about France (where I live) rather than because of any particular liking for dogs. It is a sort of travelogue of the American authors' visit to Paris and Provence, written as if from the point of view of their dog Chula. Fortunately, the authors managed to avoid too much tweeness, though the title page does say 'as barked by...'. The book is mainly pictorial, with photos and some cartoons and brief text - in fact I read the whole thing in about 20 minutes or less. The authors and their dog (when allowed in) visit the kind of places you might think - the Eiffel tower, cafes and museums in Paris, and local markets, lavender fields and the sheep transhumance in Provence, but from the dog's point of view there is a bit more than a human guide would have on smells, low level views etc. The book ends with guidance on how to take your dog with you from the US to France, and there is also a website with other material and links.

As I do not possess an ipad I read this book online. This worked reasonably well, though it was rather fiddly to try to get the page at a decent size to read but whilst still showing the whole of a page.

It was quite a fun little read, though I suspect I would have been somewhat disappointed if I had actually paid for it. ( )

This is an adorable book that any dog lover or Paris enthusiast would love. The pictures were wonderful and the drawings were charming. Unfortunately I couldn't get the videos to work with my tablet but was able to view them online. This is a book that I will be rereading in the future. ( )

If you love doge and you love France, then you're going to love this delightful little e-book about a Sheltie collie who travels from California to France to vacation with his owners in Provence and Paris. Told in the dog's voice with lovely photographs and line drawing illustrations, we meet the locals, go to the markets, relax in the cafes and, in general, enjoy this trip as much as the dog does. ( )

I really wanted to love this book. I didn't. I liked it and found it enjoyable, but I really wanted more. It needed more depth to Chula's stories. The book was very short. I was hoping for longer, more exciting adventures. The photos were nice but the videos were really fun! The premise for this book is spectacular, it just fell a little short.

The section of travel tips with a dog was awesome. This information is invaluable. ( )

A Sheltie Goes to France!

Chula, whose name means "pretty" in Spanish, set off for France with a smile.

Did you know they call the tower the "Iron Lady"? Hmm. Isn't that Margaret Thatched called that, too? Frankly, they don't look anything alike to me. For one thing, Maggie has two legs, and the Parisian Iron Lady has four on the floor, like me.
The French have the right respect for dogs--in France we chiens get to go to lunch and dinner anytime, anywhere.
Ears back, tail up! I got to show off the white tip on the end of my tail. It's the flag that all Shelties are proud of.
I hated to hound the guy at the sausage table, but I wanted to learn the difference between saucisson à l'âne, donkey sausage, and saucisson du taureau, bull sausage. That donkey stuff tastes, well, just a little different.
