From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Ellie's dreams of owning her ideal dog are dashed when she inherits her grandmother's pooch (who eventually wins her over). "The author is right on target expressing how it feels to receive a gift that is not quite right,"said PW. Ages 7-10. (Apr.) |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| "Not my Dog" is not great literature, but it is a darling story. All adults and most children have at some time wanted something so badly that any substitute falls short. Ellie wanted a puppy and when the family took Great-aunt Margaret's dog because she could not have him in her new apartment, Ellie was broken hearted and knew in her heart that Preston would never be her dog. But as happens, Preston turned out to be special. |
