Charlie the Ranch Dog

Meet Charlie. He's a ranch dog. Breakfast is his life, especially when bacon is involved. Charlie has dangly ears, floppy skin, and big, fat paws. And he loves living in the country. That's because he works like a dog - fixing fences, gardening, and helping his family out on the range.

Yep, it's all work, all the time for Charlie the ranch dog. In fact, he's probably working right now... a ranch dog's work is never done!

Come along as Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman, introduces us to her beloved short-legged pioneer dog named Charlie.

Great for dog lovers!

Charlie the Ranch Dog is a children's book by Ree Drummond, who is better known to most as The Pioneer Woman. The dogs in the story, Charlie and Suzie, are real dogs that are often featured on her website - thepioneerwoman.com.

First, I must say that the illustrations are just beautiful and really captures the look
of a modern working ranch. Even though you see mostly greens and browns, the book reminds me of spring on the prairies in my old town in the Midwest. I also love that fact that the dogs are extremely cute - but not overly cartoonish.

I read the story to my 4 year old daughter when it came in the mail and now she will probably spend the rest of the week baying like a basset hound ("Rrrrooowww-oooh!"). She loved the story and had me read it to her twice in a row before running off to pretend she was a ranch dog. The story follows an average day at the ranch for Charlie and his little friend, Suzie. Charlie brags during the story of all the work he gets done, but he really just eats and sleeps a lot. It's a great subtle introduction to the concept of exaggeration for little kids.

I would really recommend this story to families that might have an older pet. It's a loving tribute to a dog who is a well loved member of the family, even though he may have lost the pep of his puppy days, and it shows that there is room for all kinds of personalities in a home.
