I loved this book 50 years ago and was thrilled to find it
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book spoke to my soul as a little child (in the 1950s) - dreams of making it on my own, seeing the world, being adventurous. For years I looked for it, not remembering who it was by or the name. What a thrill to find it now and to be able to buy it for my friends' children and grandchildren! Thank you to Golden Books for bringing this back. But please give us an edition with all the illustrations and copy!
I live the life of Scuppers, a dream from my childhood
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
As a child I was read the story of Scuppers and drifted through the book's wonderful illustrations for hours. As a grown up I have a sailboat to sail aboard, as an engineer I keep everything organized (my shoes have one particular place on our boat), my wife has awakened in me the joys of travelling far from home, and I have always pursued every avenue to reach my goals. This book captured my fascination as a child like no other. Adventure, organization, and persistence aren't just for the dogs.With our first child on the way I am thrilled to be able to buy a new copy, as the one on my parent's bookshelf at my childhood home has seen better days. Worn out from use no doubt.
I based my whole life on the doggy wisdom of Scuppers.

Excellent illustrations and a wonderful story about this can-do dog named Scuppers. Great cozy scenes, adventure, rocking boats, ship wrecks, house building, everything you ever need. The best book of my childhood.
