Such a sweet, heart-warming read from the perspective of man’s best friend!
I love this author! Bailey's story is told from the dog's point of view as he gets adopted by a boy that he treasures and ultimately saves. This story is appropriate for all ages and adorable.
Bailey’s story by W. Bruce Cameron is an amazing book. this book features a compelling story of a dog and his boy. Bailey’s story is the tale of a dog who finds his purpose in an eight-year old boy named Ethan. Bailey’s new found purpose is to play with the boy, love the boy, and most of all protect him from any threat the world might try to throw at him. Bailey’s story gives you a very intriguing perspective of Bailey the dog which you just can’t get enough of. I think this book has a the most
I really liked the in depth look of the life when the dog was Bailey. It was super funny the way a dog thinks of things like kissing as hugging, and how dogs can feel the different emotions of humans. Though I didn't think the stories lined up exactly, and the book finished far before the end of Bailey's life, it was still an amazing book.
loved it. I really hope that I can read more books like this.
This book was one of the better books I read. This book was about a boy and his dogs bond. I gave it 4 stars because I can relate to this book. I relate to it because I have a good bond with my dog to. This book was really fun to read, and i really suggest it.
Just look at that little face and tell me you could resist him anything he wanted!!! My little friend Jessica brought this home from her school library and immediately had to read it. It should be read by everyone that loves a dog, has ever loved a dog, or has been loved by a dog. I fit all three of those categories and Jessica does also. I think she's more drawn to that cute little face than the actual story. I told her about my friend on Library Thing that just lost her little dog, Oliver and
Bailey's Story is set in the mind of a golden retriever named Bailey. It's about his journey to find his purpose and when he does he sticks to it. This story is honestly just so pure. Hearing Bailey's thoughts made me chuckle and smile the whole way through. It's certainly made me more interested in reading the larger novel!
Love this book, it was so amazing this dog had such an amazing bond with Ethan (her owner) Ethan is a young 8 year old kid Bailey had, they came across each other when Bailey was lost out in the world and Ethan wanted to take her in.
I really really loved this heartwarming tale of a golden retriever puppy and his boy. The book is from Bailey’s (the puppy) perspective, and really changes the way you think of your dog. You grow to love this book more and more as you read it, and you genuinely get sad at the sad parts. This book is really good for kids, but I think adults would enjoy it too. So if you’re looking for a book with this type of story, pick this one up and I promise you won’t regret it!
This book was so good it was a really cute story. I love the part when Bailey meets eathen. It is so funny when the bailey meets smoky the cat. Toad I can't believe he set Baileys and eathen house on fire! At Christmas they got another cat it was so funny. Every summer it is so cute because eathen family goes to there grandparents house/farm.
I think young people in the age group identified by the author (3rd through 7th grade) will truly enjoy this book. For me, I recognized story threads in this book from his other dog's purpose novels so it was, again, a bit disappointing to me. Still, I'm going to set it back for my grandson when he gets just a little older. I think he might enjoy the story.
Absolutely LOVED this book. It makes me wonder if W. Bruce Cameron is at least part golden retriever because he seems to have perfectly captured the personality and mindset of one. This sweet story is told from the point of view of Bailey the puppy, who knows immediately upon meeting 'his boy' that his job is to take care of him no matter what. He is taught many important things like 'Get the Ball' and 'Dog Door', but it's the things that he knows instinctively and the boundless love he gives to...
Bailey's Stroy is about a dog and how he finds his purpose. When Bailey was a puppy he was always very curious. One day Bailey was playing in the grass for the first time. When he noticed the gate, Bailey tried to open it. It took a while, but he finally got it open. He looked back a his mother letting her know he ws leaving, and walked out of the gate. Their was a path that lead to the street. He started to cross it when a big truck was coming. He car stopped and the man inside of the car got o...
I read this one aloud to my five year old daughter, who is also a huge fan of W. Bruce Cameron's books -- although she simply knows them as "the doggie books," or "the books that Tucker’s Daddy wrote.” Our nightly mommy/daughter reading ritual is something we both cherish, and we really enjoyed sharing this story together. It was a terrific way to introduce chapter books into her literary repertoire, and she felt a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment upon our completion of the story. A perf...
This is a Bailey from W Bruce Cameron’s book “A Dog’s Purpose,” adapted for young readers (or dog lovers like me).It begins by illustrating how uncaring dog breeders or puppy mills can be. But, of course Bailey escapes, and after a false start ends up with a little boy named Ethan. They have a burgeoning relationship—told from Bailey’s perspective. Even though it’s a mini-“Dog’s Purpose,” it’t sill a great book.
a raely good book but i think i should have read a doges purpose firsr
How many times can this author repackage the same story and pass it off as a new book?
The book Bailey's Story by W. Bruce Cameron is a kid friendly series based on A Dogs Purpose. This book is about Bailey, A Golden Retriever who wants to protect their favorite person, Ethan. Bailey's story is filled with twists and turns as they go though their many adventures.As usual Bruce Cameron has good use of characterization as he tells the adventures of Ethan and Bailey. He uses characterization to show what Bailey's feeling are and how he acts on them. Bailey learns that his purpose is
It was a good book to read. especially if you love dog's. The author writes the story so you can understand dog's better. Dog's might not talk like people but they know emotions and they do try to talk by barking or their behavior. Dog's are easy to understand then people, also a lot smarter the anyone gives them the credit for.
