♥ love my girls!! ♥ Donating Member | Books with Yorkies as the main (or even supporting) character??? I LOVE books!! So, I thought it would be fun to see if we could get a list going of books that feature a Yorkie as the main, or even supporting, character!!! I'm not talking about Yorkshire Terrier owner's manuals or training books... I'm talking about stories/novels...fiction or non-fiction, children or adult! This should be fun, and hopefully we'll all find out about books we had no idea about!!! Ok, so I'll start! Here are the ones I know about: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum (Toto--and the other "Oz" books in which Toto appears) Yorkie Doodle Dandy by William A. Wynne (Smoky) The Gift of Jazzy by Cindy Adams (Jazzy) Living a Dog's Life, Jazzy, Juicy, and Me by Cindy Adams (Jazzy and Juicy) Journey of Tapiola by Robert Nathan (Tapiola) Tapiola's Brave Regiment by Robert Nathan (Tapiola) My Dog, Cat by Marty Crisp (Catullus--"Cat") Puddin' the Yorkshire Terrier (Purse Pup) (Puddin') How the Yorkie Rescued Santa, An Adventure in Doggerel by Oliver W.B. Porter, as told by Carol S. Porter (a YT member!!!) Ok, I'm sure there have to be others out there that I don't know about!! So let's have it!!

YT 500 Club Member | Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919] didn't include a breed in his description of Toto in the original 1900 book edition of 'The Wizard of Oz'. In Chapter 1 'The Cyclone', readers were presented with "a little black dog, with long, silky hair and small black eyes that twinkled merrily on either side of his funny, wee nose." The illustrations in the book led many to believe that Baum had in mind either a Cairn Terrier, or a Yorkshire Terrier, which was popular at the time of the book's writing. In the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz', the part of Toto was played by Terry [1933-1944], a Cairn terrier. In the 1985 film 'Return to Oz', the part was played by a Border Terrier.

♥ love my girls!! ♥ Donating Member | In regard to Toto....the literary Toto was based on illustrator W.W. Denslow's own Yorkie!!! Pretty cool huh?! Isn't it funny that there's so much written speculation when the illustrator HAD a Yorkie?!

♥ love my girls!! ♥ Donating Member | I tried to read the 1st one by Cindy Adams. She's a NY Post columnist, so obviously she's highly regarded....but I just didn't like the way it was written and had a hard time reading it. Ultimately I didn't finish it, and "re-homed" it. I realize my opinions are OBVIOUSLY not the general public's...otherwise, she wouldn't be a NY Post columnist, now would she! lol Maybe I should have put it aside and given it another chance down the road...could have just been the mood I was in.

☺Farrah☺ Donating Member | In the movie but the illustrator for the book was said to have fashioned Toto after his beloved Yorkie.

♥ love my girls!! ♥ Donating Member | I forgot to say...in the FIRST EDITION!! W.W. Denslow ONLY illustrated the 1st edition (he and Lyman Frank Baum quarreled over the stage adaptation, and Baum didn't want to work with him anymore). Not sure how Toto was portrayed in later editions...???
