This was another Caldecott winner that won my kids' hearts for its storyline. As the title and cover art show, it follows a family who encounters and falls in love with a stray dog. My kids have been begging for a puppy and this story embodied the sort of perfect situation for them. A delightful little dog needs someone to love it, but the parents initially say no; In the end, however, they realize they love it, too.I have boys, so I'm always reading books about monsters and dragon and pirates and skeletons; it's sometimes nice to read a true-to-life, feel-good book.
We still don't have a dog.
