A really well-researched, tail-wagging page-turner following Terry, an abandoned cairn terrier who became the most famous dog in movie history. The tale is written from the first-person perspective of Terry, which is a real treat, and gives "Wizard of Oz" lovers a chance to look at the beloved classic in a whole new light, just in time for the film's 75th anniversary. There's tons of incredibly fun archive prints from "The Wizard of Oz" and the dozen or so other movies that Terry/Toto made, incl

What is not to love about a little dog like Terry a.k.a. Toto?

I, Toto will appeal to Wizard of Oz devotees, dog lovers (Cairn Terrier aficionados, especially), and nostalgia buffs alike. It is presented as a scrapbook and provides a delightful look back at the career of the dog who listened to Judy Garland, as Dorothy, sing “Over the Rainbow”. Many photographs and memorabilia are shown as Terry/Toto narrates her story. The little Cairn was trained by famous Hollywood dog trainer Carl Spitz and appeared in many movies with stars such as Mickey Rooney, Jack

Short and sweet. Cute and charming book with lots of pictures. Toto tells her story and the layout is like a scrapbook with lots of cute captions. Her real name was Terry.
Would highly recommend to anyone who likes The Wizard of Oz, dogs or old movies. Since I like all 3, the book was a real treat!
Okay, bought this one for the kids.
