We check out quite a few dog books at our house. Pancake likes them so much you know. This little book is beautifully crafted, tender and hopeful. Kate Di Camillo is an artist whose penned images lead a heart through a difficult path traveling and learning until it breaks open onto a wise and inspired vista. I must be the last to have read this little gem about a dog that smiles, but so glad to have finally discovered it.
I also loved The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane.. Pancake didn't like it as much because it's about a rabbit.

Yeah Winn Dixie! Yeah Pancake!
Pancake might not like where the red fern grows or Yeller either then. ha! Winn Dixie is a good book!
Love it. One of our very favorites. We actually like the book and the movie. Usually one is much better than the other.
Tif You should watch the movie now that you have read the book. It is awsome! Just like the book and the dog smiles. It is excellent and very kid friendly. Also the Adventures of Greyfriars Bobby is a good dog movie I just watched (but it made me cry again not a surprise) but it was well done and very cute and touching.
Excellent book.
I recently stumbled across "The Tale of Despereaux"at my local Book Warehouse and fell hard. KDC has the most delicate sense of wonder in her writing, such hope.
I'd seen Because of Winn-Dixie, but not read the book - now it's on the list :)
