THE LIGHTHOUSE DOG

The Lighthouse Dog by Betty Waterton

MISO: Norman, are you sure you want to visit a lighthouse? They look kind of lonely.
NORMAN: I heard sometimes there is pizza.

Hi Boys and Girls: Today we are reading a story called The Lighthouse Dog. I love this story because it is funny, adventurous, and has a really cool dog in it called Molly (who looks like Norman.) The man who is the lighthouse keeper is "The Captain." The lighthouse in this story was built on a rock, like many lighthouses used to be. You had to row ashore in a small boat like the Captain's wife did when she went to town to get a dog. 

This story takes place in Canada on the Atlantic Ocean where there used to be many lighthouses. Lighthouse keepers devoted their lives to protecting ships and saving lives.  I hope you enjoy this story and find the lighthouses interesting like Miso, Norman and I do. 

I have also included a nice colouring sheet of a lighthouse scene if you would like to work on it as well.

Make sure to spend some time reading this weekend, because reading is FUN!
