A very relatable story about two kids wanting to adopt a big white dog that shows up on their front lawn. This memorable and heartwarming tale touches on love, forgiveness, mental illness, and compassion for animals. Author’s Note.

Cute! ( )

This book has simple illustrations and short chapters, both desirable in this age range. It would make a good read aloud for an early elementary child or an independent read for an older child, as indicated in the 8-12 recommendation. ( )

This was a great book for any dog lover. The story was not predictable and included many ups and downs. I appreciated that the story was written from the perspective of a child and was based on a true story. This was a quick and fun read, and would be very popular with children. Thanks! ( )

this book was kind of a long read for a small child, but it was a good book. the chapters are short ,which is nice, and has a great story line to it.
