First published in 1940, Lassie Come-Home has become a cultural phenomenon and one of the best-loved dog stories in the world, inspiring several movies and TV shows. Now, to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the original book, comes a picture book with a fresh and appealing commercial look just right for a new generation of dog lovers.
Lassie is Joe’s prize collie and constant companion. But when Joe’s father loses his job, Lassie must be sold. Three times she escapes from her new owner, and three times she returns home to Joe, until finally she is taken to the remotest part of Scotland—too far a journey for any dog to make alone.
But Lassie is not just any dog.
Our Thoughts:
Who doesn’t love Lassie? I grew up watching Lassie on television, but until recently I never knew that it actually started out as a novel. I introduced my boys to Lassie some time ago with the old movies, and they loved them too. So as you can imagine, this book was a hit with both of them. This is a beautifully written and illustrated book and one that we recommend.
is currently available with a SRP of $17.99

This looks like a nice story. I loved watching Lassie on tv when I was young. I never knew there were Lassie books.
