Ideas Are All Around

This book is about a man and his dog, called Wednesday, which is a very funny name for a dog in my opinion. The man’s job is to write stories but he doesn’t have any ideas at the moment, so he decides to talk a walk with his dog. They go near the pond, where lives a turtle, that he decided to name Frank.

They also see his neighbor, Barbara—whom Wednesday adores. Barbara lives with dogs, cats and fish. He tells the man not to worry about not having any ideas, because Ideas are All Around.

Wednesday chases squirrels and birds. The man decides to take a walk on railroad tracks. He tells Wednesday never to, because it is dangerous, but they do it together anyways, and they imagine all the places they could end up to, if they kept walking for days.

The man should be writing stories on his typewriter but it broken so it brings it to someone to be fixed. The typewriter is a kind of machine that makes a clak-clak-clak noise when you push on the buttons. It looks like a walk on a machine.

I did not like this book particularly. It was slow and a bit boring.
