Tucker Gets Tuckered follows Tucker, a Bernese Mountain Dog, as he spends his day doing all of the things that a Berner loves to do - including sitting on his owner's feet!  Tucker's not the kind of dog who just sits around the house. Oh no. There's always something fun to do somewhere, and whatever it is, Tucker knows where to find it. Is that Tucker on the golf course? Is that him sunning on the beach? You won't believe all the crazy things he likes to do, and all the different places he likes to go. No wonder Tucker gets tuckered! Wouldn't you?

$19.00 (This includes shipping.)

Jules the Lighthouse Dog follows Jules, a Bernese Mountain Dog, as he tries to figure out what it is that he is good at doing. By the end of the story, Jules has discovered his hidden talent and is ready to share it with the world.

Moritz and Barry are off again, this time on an excursion to Switzerland . Traveling by train, bus, and gondola, Moritz is squashed into cramped spaces, surrounded and stepped over by hundreds of boots, and confronted by a variety of people and languages. Through it all he maintains a relaxed, tolerant, and joyful calm, amazing Barry and leading him to ask at the end how Moritz maintains his cool. The answer lies in the title of the book, A Peaceful Mind, a phrase that can lead to many an interesting conversation between parent and child.

Each 32 page, hardbound book is signed!

$20.00 (This includes shipping.)

 

A Peaceful Mind ~ Travels with Moritz
by Barry Schieber

You have to be a best friend to have a best friend! Through the eyes of these two special Bernese Mountain dogs, children will truly learn and appreciate the rewards of having a close friendship. In The Tails of Brinkley the Berner: The Beginning, Brinkley and Luca James share the beginning of their unique relationship. The most defining quality of this book, and something the author and illustrator went to great lengths to articulate, is that everything about this story is true: the characters, how the two friends met, their physical expressions, and even the local pet shop they frequent are all captured in the beautiful artwork.

Each hardbound book is signed!

The Tails of Brinkley the Berner  by Laura Leah Johnson
Tucker Gets Tuckered by Theodore Waddell
Jules the Lighthouse Dog  by P. T. Custard 
I am a sucker for Children's books, and The Tails of Brinkley the Berner,The Beginning by Laura Leah Johnson is no exception, I just love it! It's a story of friendship; and the Berners in it are just like our own dogs, neither is perfect. Perhaps that's one reason I love the book so much, since I'm not perfect either. But both dogs are perfectly loveable, and I'll be lined up waiting for the sequel! Thank goodness the author has already promised there will be one.

The artwork for this book is just wonderful. I love the little devices associated with each dog, the wash of colors, and the expressiveness of the dogs. Some of those puppy looks do a terrific job of capturing That Look. You know the one I mean. That wistfully sad you want me to do what? sort of look. I hope to see more Berner books illustrated by Jen-Ann Kirchmeier.

"Most of us think that we train dogs, that they always learn what we wish them to know. We spend years training puppies to be dogs that are easy to live with, or at least we try. But how often do we really see our dogs, and try to understand what it is that we can learn from them? Barry Schieber's new book about Moritz does just that. With all of the unexpected issues that arise during travel, Moritz just accepts the crowds and the delays. His ability to enjoy the travel with patience is something that would benefit most of us."

"A Peaceful Mind: Travels with Moritz is the latest in a series of books that Barry has written about his Berner, Moritz. As with each of them, he has a different artist who has a more realistic style - but Tracey Dahle Carrier has a sense of whimsy as well. Several of the illustrations have unexpected details."

"For those of us who collect Children's books, and Berner books in particular, this is another must have!
"

For the Love of a Berner...
This is another fun children’s book, originally written and illustrated by Theodore Waddell. The artwork is wonderfully imprecise and does more to create a mood than to focus on details. But the details so important to a Berner’s world are there to be found! ~ Pat Long
 ~ Pat Long

This delightful children’s book is about a bored Berner in search of a job. We join Jules in his search for a job, only to find it was right in front of him all the time. As he explores thoughts of all the more typical Berner or dog related jobs, the illustrations use a squirrel to help add some fun. As with so many children’s books, the fun is in finding many of the details in the drawings which aren’t immediately apparent. I do hope P.T. Custard does a sequel, or two or three!

Lori Friedli and her 17-month-old Berner siblings, Charly and Nettie, are proud to participate in "Paws a While to Read."  The program has been successful with helping children become better readers! Each child has the opportunity to read to a lovable canine companion. We don't know who enjoys it more, the children or the dogs! Each dog is shown with a book purchased from The Berner-Garde Foundation: Jules the Lighthouse Dog and Tucker Gets Tuckered.
