review 1: Audience- I believe that this book would be for middle elementary students, possible around grades 2-3 because some difficult vocabulary for younger grades. Also, the beginning of the story is kind of sad because it is about a dog and a little girl who are both very lonely. If older students, such as third graders, were to read the book they would most likely be able to make the connection of similarities between the dog and the girl. Appeal- This books appeal is that it looks like a warm and inviting book. It uses warm colors in all of the pictures. People who like animals may like this book also because it has a dog in it. The book is also about friendship which may appeal to a lot of students. It may help some students realize that friends can be anyone including their... more pet, not just people. Application- I would use this book in my classroom when discussing similarities and differences with my students. After reading the story the student’s kind find some similarities and differences among the little girl and the dog in the story. For example, a similarity could be that the little girl and the dog were both lonely and wanting a friend.

review 2: This book was okay, like it starts off with a depressing beginning where the dog and the girl are both sad not having someone special to be with and always getting turned down. At the end of the book both the girl and the dog end up together leaving both of them happy, so it was okay I liked it but wasn't really something that caught my attention, maybe others would like it but I won't know if young kids will knowing that the beginning starts off sad. less
