Slippers does not like naptime. There is too much for a puppy to do instead of sleep. Before he can settle down, he has to collect a few things.

When it's time to go for a walk with Mommy, Slippers is too tired. Now, finally, Slippers is ready for naptime. Full of rambunctious play and inimitable personality, Slippers will win over children's hearts as he helps them learn to read.Customer Reviews:

1915: The Death of Innocence
Lyn Macdonald Manufacturer: The Johns Hopkins University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0801864437 |
Book Description
By Christmas 1914, the wild wave of enthusiasm that had sent men flocking to join up a few months earlier began to tail off, and though the original British Expeditionary Force had suffered 90 percent casualties, most people, particularly the soldiers themselves, still believed that 1915 would see the breaking of the deadlock. But their hopes were shattered on the bloody battlefields of Neuve Chapelle, Ypres, Loos, and far away on the shores of Gallipoli.
Lyn Macdonald's story of 1915 is stark, brutal, frank, sometimes painfully funny, always human. Never before has any writer collected so many firsthand accounts of the experiences of ordinary soldiers, through diaries, letters, and interviews with survivors--and it is the dogged heroism and sardonic humor of the soldiers that shine through the pages of this epic narrative. 1915 is a uniquely compelling blend of military history and poignant memories of the fighters who survived the ordeal.
Customer Reviews:
1915 A classic account of the true horrors of war.......2002-10-17
The BEF in 1915.......2002-08-01
The main battles covered are Neuve Chapelle, Ypres and Loos, but there are chapters on the Gallipoli campaign. Although the Gallipoli chapters are well-written, they are subsidiary to the descriptions of the Western Front, and therefore might disappoint readers who are looking for a more detailed examination of that campaign.
The success of Lyn Macdonald's method of writing about World War One is her skilful use of first-hand accounts: the ordinary soldiers and officers are "allowed" to relate their experiences to the reader, with Macdonald linking those accounts with her own narrative - acting as a guide, as it were. Therefore the reader is given the opportunity to get closer to an real appreciation of what it must have been like (although given the horrors the troops went through this can only, thank goodness, still be an very distant approximation).
There were things in my edition which were irritating: several sloppy grammatical and spelling errors; and some unfortunate, unsubstantiated assertions, such as "... the Guards [were] the best of all the soldiers in an army that ws generally acknowledged to be the best army in the world." Although I was full of admiration of the British (and other) soldiers after reading the book, I thought that trotting out a sentence like that and asking people to take it as a self-evident truth was overdoing it.
Having said that, this is still a fine, and at times, moving book.

A Very Small Part of the Story of 1915 on the Western Front.......2001-06-16
Obviously, MacDonald, as a British woman and patriot, is only concerned with the British perspective of 1915. The trouble with that is that the French Army held 85% of the Western Front in 1915; the British number of 15% was reached only at the end of the year. And yet, for hundreds of pages, small engagements (especially in relation to the tremendous French campaigns further south on the front) are given mind-numbing detail while the main pillar of the Allied alliance, at least until the Spring of 1917, is all but ignored.
Some readers find the first-person perspective of MacDonald's books grating, but I like the fact that these veterans' voices are put in print, in their own words, before they died. This makes "1915" a good source for primary sources. However, if you're interested in the REST of 1915 on the Western Front, and by REST I mean events on the OTHER 400 mile front held by the French, you will be sorely disappointed.
