Because of Winn-Dixie

A beautiful, well written, story. Meant for children but thoroughly enjoyed by this adult!

This is a kind novel about a 10-year old girl and her new dog Winn-Dixie and how it becomes the new and important member of the family and helps a girl to find a new friend. This is a good story about life with a dog, about friendship, care, support and help. I purchased this book for my 8-year old daughter and she really enjoys the story.

Beautiful, poetic, uplifting and deep book about loss and friendship, and about how we can find happiness despite having lost someone we love. I read it with my 7 years old. I must confess I cried in some parts, but he was fine. He loved it too. We both found it hard to put down. All the characters are great, and it's full of good values and lessons

A lovely little, feel good book. A joy to read. Excellent delivery. Thank you.

I loved this book so much I then bought it for 2 different children. I did ask a friend's child to read it to as I wondered whether I was hankering after times pasts but she, a 10year old Londoner also thought it was great. Highly recommend. Reading this book has led me to buy other DiCamillo books, which have also been very good but asthma was the first I bought I have a soft spot for it.

I bought this book to read to my students! They love it

This book is very good and you can visualize the characters very well and it makes me happy to hear about Winn Dixie smiling
