Levi the Sailor Dog

So for those of you who are familiar with The Sailor Dog, the famous classic Golden Book, you may appreciate this story on a different level than others, but Levi made a pretty ingenious connection lately that I wanted to share with you all.

Just this morning, my wife went to a friend’s house to drop off some homemade pumpkin bread (what a sweetheart, right?) and while there, Levi noticed a little spyglass he loved. Our friend gave it to him and he was elated. We think we found out why…
Levi found something Scuppers also had! The forsaken spyglass…
At the end of the book, there is a little song that is included. It goes a little something like this:

I am Scuppers the Sailor Dog-
I’m Scuppers the Sailor Dog-
I can sail in a gale
right over a whale
under full sail
in a fog.

I am Scuppers the Sailor Dog-
I’m Scuppers the Sailor Dog-
with a shake and a snort
I can sail into port
under full sail
in a fog.

Levi was singing this very song on the way home from our friend’s house. Jenny was super confused, but when she got home, I told her that’s the song from the book we read to him! We finally understood. It was epic.

Isn’t it crazy what kids remember???

Until next time,
Jeremy, Jenny, Levi, & Liam
