Customer Reviews

lil ole Buster...I love him!

As a School Librarian my kids especially loved this story, around the holidays.

I love this book!!!

Kids in my Kindergarten class love this book and ask me to read it over and over. It's a great book to get kids talking about kindness and what makes a loving family. I agree with everything the previous reviewer wrote and I am surprised at the couple of negative reviews. One wrote, "the story shows the world as almost entirely evil"... I think it shows the world through the eyes of a little puppy, something young kids can really relate to. The same person wrote, "the illustrations... were frightenning and conducive to nightmares". Are we talking about the same book?

A Wonderful book, with Wonderful Morals

I bought this book for my children, and they loved this book. They request on my reading it to them every night. If someone tells you about the uncaring few people not wanting this cute puppy, then they are only telling you negative. The whole point of this story is when a sweet elderly man finds the pup, and now not only does the puppy have a friend, but so does the man. It has an excellent heart-warming ending. You have to at least take this book into consideration, because it will make you and your child appreciate your family more. I would really like to rate this book 100 stars if I could!

A Heart Warming Book

A wonderful book about an abandoned dog who eventually finds a home at Christmas time. It warms your heart and is a favorite of my 8 year old daughter's. It made my daughter think about how awful it would be to abandon a pet. It's a fairly easy read with a few challenging words. -- A nice happy ending to keep the Christmas spirit.
