review 1: Surprisingly, this 3-5 storybook is a satire on those amazing animal friendship stories you always hear about on the news. Vinnie the dog wanders into the zoo, and tries to befriend Bogart the Rhino. Despite the fact that Bogart clearly dislikes Vinny's company, the media falls all over themselves, artificially constructing this touching narrative about interspecies bonding. It was actually pretty funny, but not funny in a way that a 4 year old would get, so this only gets 3 stars.
review 2: I really liked this story. I loved the dog, Vinnie. His crazy-happy personality is so funny and great, not to mention realistic for anyone who has ever had a dog of their own! I also loved the fact that the story centered around an interspecies friendship. I would have giv... moreen the story five stars but for one thing: the ending. I did not like that the family took - and the park allowed them to take - the rhino, zebras, and parrots home. Not wanting to separate Vinnie from his new friends was all well and good, but I would have preferred it if the family left Vinnie at the park and if the park had given the family lifetime passes to visit the dog there. less
