Dog Trots Globe - To Paris & Provence (A Sheltie Goes to France) by Sheron Long

This is the story of Chula, a Shetland Sheepdog who travels to France, from California, at the grand old age of nine. It chronicles her adventures from Provence, to Paris, and back home again. There is even a handy hints and tips for travelling on an aeroplane with a dog which is very helpful!

I loved this! It is a lovely, feel good book. It has lots of lovely photos of the journey, with the story built around them. It is an interactive book with some videos to go with it that can either be viewed on a PC or an iPad. This is a brilliant idea and just enriches and extends the experience. I felt I was there with Chula experiencing all the sights and smells along with her. I hope Chula goes on more adventures abroad, for I most certainly will be going along with her!

I received a complimentary copy of this book in order to review.
