If you want to have a doggone good time reading to a little tyke on the subject of aerial application fetch yourself a copy of “The Story of Amelia Airedale,” a book for younglings about an Airedale pooch named Amelia that is fascinated by the aerial applicators treating spuds in Idaho.  Amelia—spoiler alert—lives in a kennel besides a runway and she and her fellow Airedale friends rescue Crop Duster Bob when he loses ground visibility flying in the clouds. Crop Duster Bob hears the dogs’ barking to safely identify the runway’s location and land his ag aircraft. The dogs are then treated to a delicious feast of aerially treated scalloped, baked and fried taters. Amelia even gets to fly with Crop Duster Bob in his newly painted ag aircraft that has Amelia’s picture painted on its tail. The fun little book, written by Mike Weiss and illustrated by Jodi Hill-Toombs, is currently available on-line at Barnes and Noble, or by contacting Mike Weiss.
