Follow My Leader James B Garfield Books

I read this book when I was in 6th grade, too many years ago to want to count.
On a whim, looking to see which books I remember from back then are either in print or available in kindle format for my sons who are now at that age, I found this book.
How many stories did you read when you were in grade school that you still remember fondly? If you read this book then you will remember it - it's that type of story. It's inspirational, thoughtful, and rings true. Children have a remarkable ability to detect "B.S." - "oh Daddy, quit kidding me..." - but this is a book that a child can read, and take away something positive about the strength of human spirit and courage.
How lucky we humans are to have the 4 legged friends that we get to spend a few years with.
More than recommended, a must read for children of any age.
Oh, and please vote for a Kindle version!

Follow My Leader James B Garfield Books Reviews

The fabric on this is super super nice. The lining on the inside is super soft and warm. It fits my baby very well, but is a little tight in some places. However, she is a little overweight. The length is perfect. It will be very ideal for when it gets cold and rainy.
UPDATE it had been storming this morning, and my girl needed to go out. While the jacket did not alleviate her fear of storms, it did keep her very dry for the few seconds she stepped outside. I wish I had a jacket as nice as this lol
My wife and I signed up for the Secret Santa program here in our neck of the woods, and one of the gifts requested by a young boy in the family was books. I have been a voracious reader since I learned the alphabet, so as I pondered the request in bed that first night, for whatever reasons, my brain locked on to this book, though I couldn't remember the title. The next morning, I did a search using the story line and was rewarded handsomely with the title, and the news it was still in print. I promptly ordered 6 copies.
To say the book had an impact on my life would be stating the obvious, as it had sat percolating in my brain cell's history files for over 47 years. I remembered Jimmy's resistance to learning braille, to getting his dog, and something about a bully of sorts that he had to contend with once he returned home from the school. I remembered, too, that while reading the book all those years ago, putting on a blindfold in the privacy of my room and trying to get a sense of what Jimmy's world was like. It was that profound a story. The characters and plot lines embedded themselves firmly in my imagination, and, too, it's not a reach to say it also helped my empathy develop to new heights.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. If your children are too young for it right now, buy it and save it for them. If you are a teacher, add it to your summer reading lists (if teachers still do such things), and if your child is ready to read at this level, buy it at once, and add it to their permanent library.
There is something about this book that transcends the passage of time, and guaranteed, it will leave its mark on the way your young one sees the world. Let Garfield's Jimmy lead your child to a better understanding of themselves, and the people around them. The young man who requested books from his Secret Santa is about to have his eyes opened in a way he never could have imagined, and my only regret is that I won't be able to know the way it made his Christmas morning wondrous.
ADDENDUM
I didn't feel I covered this adequately this morning. There is a deeper side to this rediscovery that I will try to better articulate...
Though we've been Secret Santa's for a while, for some reason, this one shined a light in a corner of my mind I thought was mere history. The simple word "books" on a jotted list of wants from a young boy flipped that switch, and I lay awake for over an hour, trying to remember "Follow My Leader". I do not know why, at this moment in time, it returned from many years ago, but it had. I nearly got out of bed and went downstairs to search for the title, but ultimately decided to wait until morning. Sleep did not detour my quest.
I want to believe this was fate; you'd had to have been inside my head (a scary place of its own - not recommended on many tour guides) to experience what I was, though. It was powerful, and unrelenting. I had to find this book, and I had to give it to this young man, this boy whose name I will never know, whose face I will never see, whose reaction to the book I will not be privy to.
Destiny? Fate? Or merely the fond memories of an aging man being imposed surreptitiously on a nameless, faceless boy who anxiously awaits Christmas morning? I do not know.
But I am choosing to believe this is meant to be, that some divine, higher power led us both to this intersection to discover and rediscover Garfield's masterfully revealed Jimmy, also a boy I will never see, but one I have known since young, and to whom I will forever be grateful.
This collar has worked great for us! Our little guy use to bark at everything and nothing! The first time he wore it, the mail truck came by and he proceeded to bark but was immediately startled by the beeps and vibration. He can still get a bark or two in before the collar goes off sometimes, but I would say the barking has cut down by at least 95%. The real test came when the neighbor kids were playing football in the street. Not even one little peep out of him! Before, he would have barked the entire time. I highly recommend this collar!
