Author Description

"Tucker's Seasonal Words of Wisdom," the children's book by celebrated painter and sculptor Theodore Waddell, features 32 full-color illustrations detailing the adventures of five large and loveable Bernese Mountain Dogs. Waddell has lavishly illustrated this second volume of his "Tucker" series, and his wife, writer and photographer Lynn Campion, contributes the lively text. The delightful narrative follows Tucker and his friends, fellow Berners (as Bernese Mountain Dogs are affectionately known), as they lead the reader through a year of fun and exploration in the Northern Rockies. Spring, Summer, Winter, and Fall, the happy pups experience the joys associated with each season, all the while sharing their uplifting brand of canine wisdom. Waddell's first Tucker children's book, "Tucker Gets Tuckered," was published in 2006. As one reader wrote, "If you are a dog lover you will love this book... The art-work is incredible." Another noted, "The story is fun for kids, but also rings true for all adults who have ever had a... dog. And the illustrations are world class."
