Because of Winn Dixie

This story about India Opal and her first summer in a new place is wonderful. From the moment when she declares that Winn Dixie is her dog to when she and the preacher go searching for him, I could not put the book down. I love the story and the characters. Otis and his music, Amanda and pinched face and Ms. Franny Block and her books and stories make this book a must read!

I love this book by Kate DiCamillo. This is the third time I have read it. The first time by myself, the second with my then seven year old and now I have finished it with my five year old and I look forward to reading this one again. It is on the list of children's books that every adult should read.
