A long-time favorite children's book that will go into my permanent Children's Library. Two stories work simultaneously. A small Mexican boy longs for a dog, but his poor family can't afford one and a small prairie dog thinks it would be wonderful to have a human amigo. In simple rhyme and with lovely illustrations by Garth Williams, the two stories are woven together. A moving, uplifting ending to delight young and old. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

Mexicans?) is somehow patronizing or something? ?áNone of those are?áintrinsically?ábad enough to take away a star from the rating, but something's off.... ( )
