Diary of a Dachshund is a classic tale of a young dog looking for answers to the world all around him. Buster doesn't have a clue what life has in store for him, but he is determined to make sense of it all! Buster is a young wiener dog or dachshund, and probably testy with life all around him. You can tell he has a unique temperament, and he is feisty to say the least. He is an avid advice giver and believes that the larger dogs have all the advantages. Reading "Diary of a Dachshund," reminds us that we are all new to the world at one point or another and that life has a way of letting us know what is all around us as soon as we learn to breathe and take in all the scenery. It seems that we could stand to learn a thing or two about life as well, and Buster has all the answers. You will enjoy this tale as much as your child.

To the seafarer, one of the coziest and most reassuring of all sights is the white light atop a tower or a lightship flashing its familiar signal to tell him where he is and where danger lies. And to the landlubber, some of the most exciting and romantic of sea tales emanate from lighthouses and lightships. Here are more than a dozen of them from the salty pen of Warren Armstrong, all true, many of them the product of firsthand research. They are stories of rescue and disaster, endurance and fear, voodoo and mystery and romantic love. And behind almost every story stands the figure of the lighthouse keeper, courageous and lonely and, now, ever more nostalgic as more and more lights are made automatic.
