The Chester the Chesapeake series by Barbara Ebel is a five-book children’s series following a Chesapeake Bay Retriever named Chester through various adventures and seasonal experiences. Published between 2009 and 2014, the books include holiday and seasonal entries like Summertime, Wintertime, and The Three Dogs of Christmas alongside the introductory Chester The Chesapeake and the companion My Brother Buck.
The series represents a distinct strand of Ebel’s output separate from her adult medical thrillers, demonstrating her range as an author. The Chester books are written from the perspective of the dog and cover themes of family, friendship, and the changing seasons in a way accessible to young readers. They can be read independently, though starting with the first Chester The Chesapeake gives the introductory context.
