How to Steal a Dog

Ten year old granddaughter absolutely loves this book! I think she finished it in a day or two - she just couldn’t put it down. I work in an elementary school and a few of the students I work with have also said they were dying to read this book as well, so I figure for word to spread amongst the kids that it’s that good - it must be that good. Any book that gets kids away from screens is a five star book!

Good quality book and read for elementary students.

As parents, we are constantly looking for that special "Summer Read for Kids" that will teach our children essential lessons. How to Steal a Dog is a book that will not disappoint in the lessons it has to offer.Sadly, I remember working two jobs to support my kids, just like Georgina's mom. I know what it's like to go to bed hungry because there is only enough food to feed the children.In addition, I remember how ugly the kids at school can be to the student who arrives in dirty, unkempt clothing. I was the one who took them to my house to find something clean they could wear.Georgina has lost her father and her home. Her mother is doing her best to take care of the children, but living in a car isn't working for Georgina. The family isn't in trouble because they are lazy or bad. Circumstances can change in an instant. Our kids need to understand that before it's too late. I can't imagine another summer read for kids that does a better job of teaching compassion.After reading this remarkable story, your children will be rewarded with a better understanding of poverty, truthfulness, compassion, and devotion.

I bought this book for my granddaughter. It is a really good story but when the book came the cover was different than the one the show on line. Instead of the cute cover they show on line it was a plain cover with a simple small dog on it. Not even close or cute.

I used this as a guide to steal my neighbors dog. I got the dog, but spent the weekend in jail.

Great book for my 9 year old. She loves to read so I'm hoping she enjoys it. She is in 4th grade.

The story is cute and appropriate for children.

The best EASY dog book ever written. Endlessly clever, endlessly inventive. (Ages 8-12.)The best HARD dog book ever written is Shiloh by Reynolds; (there are four in the series and all are good). Age 9 and up.
