SAILOR, THE HANGASHORE NL DOG
By CATHERINE SIMPSON
Awards: 1999 Canadian Children's Book Centre Our Choice Citation
Sailor is a very unusual Newfoundland dog -- he's afraid of the water! This
brings a lot of scorn for Sailor, which also rubs off on his owner, six-year-old
Ike, who tries a variety of methods to entice Sailor into the water. Everything
fails until one Spring day Ike follows a group of other boys onto the ice. When
Ike falls in, Sailor overcomes his fear and saves him. After this Sailor is no
longer called a hangashore, but is the town hero.
This is the second collaboration of Cathy Simpson and Joanne Snook-Hann. Their
first book, There Are No Polar Bears Here! is now into its third printing.
