Based on a real-life lighthouse dog (whose photograph is shown on the last page), Jules the Lighthouse Dog is a children's picturebook by award-winning children's book author P.T. Custard. Simple, exuberant illustrations follow Jules' daydreams of undertaking different canine careers. But one foggy day at the lighthouse, Jules howling warns ships in peril of coming too close to shore and capsizing. Jules learns that he's needed right at home, in this gentle story perfect for young dog lovers.

Jules the Lighthouse Dog is an excellent book. Filled with many colorful and artistic illustrations, the book follows Jules, a Bernese Mountain Dog, as he seeks out what his talent in life is. In the end, Jules finds his talent and uses it to benefit others and for good.
This book would make an excellent teaching tool for children who are learning about good deeds, talents, patience, and giving. Adults will appreciate the powerful message within the book - everyone has a talent, they just need to reach inside of themselves and find it!

I bought this book months before it became available on Amazon, on the recommendation of a good friend. My children are now a little too old to appreciate it, but I hope will read it to their own children. I mostly bought it for myself, and Jules has not disappointed. It's written in a light hearted but poignant way, is beautifully illustrated, and filled with love and wisdom. For toddlers through the elementary grades, and for dog lovers of any age.

We bought this book for our 6-yr old son. Not only does he read it, but so do our 11 and 14-yr old children. It is an outstanding book with a superb message for children and adults. It is well written and the author does a good job keeping the readers captivated. The illustrations are fantastic. We hope there will be future books about Jules' adventures in the Coast Guard.

We recently added Jules the Lighthouse Dog to our library's collection, and it is a very popular book! The illustrations are great, and the story is engaging. Since we are located in Michigan near a lighthouse, and since dogs are popular with nearly everyone, this book has been a hit. We hope there will be more books from this author to follow.
