Booktopia Comments

An entertaining travel adventure told by Sidnie, the cocker-spaniel, with help from his human mum, Karen. It will delight readers of all ages as it explores life for dogs and humans in the USA and back home in Sydney, Australia.

Product Description

For Sidnie, the smart, handsome (if not quite prize-winning) cocker spaniel, life at home in Australia is just fine. But when Mum decides to spend a few years living on Sidnie’s human dad’s Christmas tree farm in America, he has to go along too.

Through his own words, with Mum’s help, Sidnie tells of the thrills, struggles and delights of moving to the other side of the world. In among the Christmas trees, he runs into intimidating stags and gun-toting deer hunters, plays hide-and-seek with the friendlier wildlife, and chases squirrels as they gather nuts for winter.

With gusto, he throws himself into his first American Christmas party! And even an urgent dash to the vet’s after helping himself to chocolate cupcakes doesn’t diminish his enjoyment.

With the humour and wisdom you’d expect of a cocker spaniel, Sidnie keenly observes the antics of the ‘choose and cut’ Christmas tree customers, ponders the attitudes of New Jersey’s two- and four-legged inhabitants, and illuminates the joys and challenges he and his human mum encounter in the land of Uncle Sam.

About the Author

Karen Waldman has lived in Sydney, Australia, most of her life. Newly retired from a successful career in the energy and water industries, she used her brief relocation to the United States to transform her journal writing into a creative writing career, her experiences providing the perfect platform to write about the adventures she shared with her husband and beloved dog Sidnie.

Karen's two daughters live in New South Wales, so Australia will always be her home. As she is a passionate dog lover, it was only fitting for her canine companion to be the focus of her first book.
