If you want to read a better summary, go to my website to read the publisher's summary, which actually makes the book sound like it might be worth reading. I hate to disappoint you, but it isn't.
On page 36, Louise is hit on the head with a porcelain cow. On page 38, she is told that she will be fine and that the blow could have been fatal if the object had been made of metal. I'm sorry, but a porcelain cow to the head could also prove to be fatal.
On page 94, the Danas' car is hit by a huge cheese that rolls down the hillside road. The Danas arrange for some of the cheese to be mailed home to them. Yes, the exact same cheese that just rolled down the hillside road. Yuck.
This book teaches about birds, train tunnels, languages spoken in Switzerland, Swiss clothing, and St. Bernard dogs. This story includes many descriptions of tourist destinations and is boring.
Many parts of this book are excruciatingly boring. I did not read most of the second half of the book. I do not like this book.

I think the title gives you sufficient warning of what the book is like. The cheese rolling down the hillside sounds hilarious, the rest not so much.
Does anybody know what happened to the dog that they bought? I don't recall seeing it ever again in any of their books
