Bertie is a bear who thinks he is a dog. He had just completed a successful mission on behalf of husky dogs to gain support for their efforts to stop the melting of polar ice, and he is now taking his friend Lennie with him to an annual family reunion in Lapland. One of his hopes is that he will also be able to prove to Lennie that he is a dog.Shortly after the start of their journey, Bertie's rash decision to leave the ship in the middle of the sea puts them at risk not only of becoming castaways, but also of having to find means of paying for the rest of their journey. Thanks to Lennie, they find a way to undertake a variety of jobs, often with hilarious consequences, as Bertie somehow always manages to mess things up.Though the book is essentially a light-hearted tale of the two friends' adventures as they struggle to reach their goal, it also contains food for thought on a topical environmental issue. The story and the enchanting illustrations will be enjoyed both by children who can read for themselves, as well as by adults reading to a child.

A history of pets and their companions in Britain from the Victorians to today. Pet Revolution tracks the British love affair with pets over the last two centuries. As pets have entered our homes and joined our families, they have radically changed our world. Historians Jane Hamlett and Julie-Marie Strange show how the pet economy exploded—increasing the availability of pet foods, medicines, and shops—and reshaped our modern lives in the process. A history of pets and their human companions, this book reimagines the “pet revolution” as one among many other revolutions—industrial, agricultural, and political—that made possible contemporary life.
