School Library Journal, February 2007, page 114:

"Kizzy is a therapy dog, and this picture book begins with a television amera crew arriving at his owner's house to follow the pup on a day's work as a R.E.A.D. (Reading Education Assistance Dog)....The writing is clear, simple, and accessible to beginning and older reluctant readers."

Time-life, leather bound, nice book. I think this is Washington Irvings most interesting and readable work. His jaunt on the praire, seems to typify the social and literary climates of the time. I think to put one of the greatest american writers on one of the greatest american frontiers, is bound to leave a lasting impression. Irving didn't disappoint me in the book. I've read it a couple of times. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0806119586, Paperback)

Nothing, however, could restrain the romantic ardor of the Count for a campaign of buffalo hunting with the Osages, and he had a game spirit that seemed always stimulated by the idea of danger. His travelling companion, of discreeter age and calmer temperament, was convinced of the rashness of the enterprise; but he could not control the impetuous zeal of his youthful friend.
