The Stray Dog, is a true story, that talks about a family who went to the park for a picnic. When the food was ready and it was time to eat, the father spotted this stray dog. The kids got so excited and started playing with him for the rest of the day. Not only did they teach him tricks, but also named him Willy. But when it was time to go home, the parents refused to take the dog, just in case he belonged to someone else. All week the family couldn't stop thinking about the dog. As a routine, they went to the park on the following saturday for another picnic. But when they think they'll never see him again, he appears in the dog catcher's net. They quickly claimed him, and gave him a new home. This is a simple, sweet book for young kids. Its all picture oriented, that can tell you the whole story without reading a word. Its easy to undersand and any young child or parent who loves dogs, will also love this book.

ReplyDeleteThis is a good first stab at a review. Your final sentences are the strongest as you are very clear about who should read this book, who can use it best, and how it might be used. I'd like to see your future reviews maintain a little more balance, i.e., spend a little less space summarizing the story and consider including some point of critique about how the book falls short. Great beginning.
