When I play Santa, I visit lots of classrooms and read to children. This is the story I usually choose. (The picture features an older copy with library-binding; I prefer this newer paperback. It was one of my favorites when I was a little boy, and this update is really special. (The original book was a brown hardback, and I still have it. I love this new colorful paperback, though. The book originally had the puppy finding a home in an orphanage, a term that is no longer used. So, the updated version has changed the words and illustrations to fit the modern sensibilities.) It's been one of my favorite stories for over six decades. It's probably not a story that a 4-8 year old could pick up and read independently the first time, but it's excellent for read-alouds. And the repetition, illustrations, and format are useful for independent reading after the story has become familiar in a read-aloud situation. The concept of reversing the point of view can lead to some really special conversations about empathy. Lots of boys want puppies, but this story is about a puppy who wanted a boy!

The book was in AMAZING condition! Just like I remember from my childhood! The actual book cover is made from a different material (it has a matte finish, as opposed to gloss), however, the content is the exact same, giving me a sense of happy nostalgia. Hopefully my child will love it as much as I do!Erica RivasAmazing condition! Lovely story!
