Wishbone and the kids go off on a treasure hunt
It is always fun to look at the title/cover of a "Wishbone" episode and figure out what literary classic is being incorporated in this week's tale of adventure. Of course, this week the world's most imaginative Jack Russell terrier is day- dreaming about Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island." However, I was a surprised which character Wishbone was playing this time around. In "Salty Dog" (arrgh) Samantha (Christie Abbott) leads Joe (Jordan Wall) and David (Adam Springfield) into a dangerous adventure while searching for a treasure. Meanwhile, Wishbone (Larry Brantley) is Jim Hawkins leading his own dangerous search for pirate gold in his own little version of "Treasure Island." Wishbone knows more about great literature than any other dog since Mr. Peabody. The "Wishbone" television series has found a unique way of introducing children to classic literature and encouraging a love of reading books. This series is designed for elementary school children, but adults will enjoy the sly jokes (wink) that only those who have already read "Treasure Island" would ever understand. "Salty Dog" (arrgh) is one of the better episodes because of the strong parallel between the main story and the novel parallel.
