What is Another Place?
You've probably been there but you don't remember.  You might have pictures of it from when you were last there all those long years ago.  It's a place not so different from our own and all it takes to get there is you.  Remember what it's like to swim through the skies of Another Place, to run along the ocean floor, to find adventure and mystery everywhere you look. 
Here in this journal, we will record those memories and discover Another Place all over again.

The Sailor Dog by Margaret Wise Brown and Illustrated by Garth Williams

Posted on DateTuesday, April 26, 2011 at 08:17AM

I love reading books to my boys.  I feel I don't do it enough anymore so I've been trying to work in a few books here and there as often as I can.  A few days ago, my five year old brought me a book to read to him I hadn't seen before: Scuppers the Sailor Dog.  I always make sure the boys know who wrote and illustrated the book.  The Sailor Dog was created by the children's book equivalent to a musical super-group: Margaret Wise Brown (Goodnight Moon) and Garth Williams (Charlotte's Web).

The Sailor Dog was published by Little Golden Books in 1953.  This was not the first nor the last Brown and Williams collaboration.  

I love the story of Scuppers as it unfolds through brilliant, colorful illustrations about a dog who wants to be a sailor, not a farmer.  Scuppers finds a boat that's "just right" and takes to the sea.  Scuppers is a resilient, persistent, and smart dog embarking (couldn't resist) on an adventure all kids are sure to enjoy.
