Black Dog Dream Dog von Michelle Superle
Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.My 11 year old daughter could not get into this book, I thought it was quite sweet.
Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.Sam Hudson, a young teenage girl, is bored and at slight odds with her mom. A dog finds its way into her backyard and she proceeds to hide it from her mom. It is a mystery as to where the dog came from. After finding it difficult to continue hiding the dog, Sam finds it a good home.
Sam did come clean with her mom, so there is that moral to the story.
I found it a cute story.

Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.A really great children's read! Fun and easy and a really great story.
Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.A somewhat simple but enjoyable read - eleven year-old Sam finds a giant black dog and immediately knows there's something special about him. However, there's no way her strict mother would ever let her keep him - so Sam undertakes the monstrous task of taking care of Horatio on her own while keeping him a secret.
The best way to describe this would be cute, I think. The story is sweet, but Sam is, unfortunately, just not a very interesting character - relatable, perhaps, but there's nothing really special about her. The best part about this book for me was undoubtedly Horatio. As a confirmed dog lover and proud owner of a giant dog myself, I felt all the passages about Horatio's calming and beyond endearing personality very viscerally. I'm currently away at college and now have a desperate longing to cuddle with my own baby! Anyway, I did really like Stella's character - I found it very much more interesting and developed than either Sam's or her mom's.
Overall, a sweet book. I'm sure I would have lapped it up in grade school, but I found it a bit lacking at times. Extra half star for the lovely illustrations!… (mehr)
