This book is about a boy who lived alone with his old grandmother and was sad and lonely. On his way home from he would visit the animal shelter and look at the pets who were also feeling sad and alone. One day he saw a dog and told his grandma about him. They raced back and adopted the dog. They were both happy again. ( ) George, a sad little orphan, lives with his sweet-faced grandmother but feels very much alone. When on his Friday afternoon visit to the dog shelter he finds a three-legged dog that seems as unwanted as he feels himself to be, he engages his grandmother's help to adopt the scruffy pup before it is euthanized. This act rescues the boy as well as his grandmother, and a family is born. Thompson never talks down to his readers and the story is simple, clear, and heartfelt enough to be universally understood. The illustrations are full of personality and extraordinary detail: the brick wall by the dog compound and the trees crowding into the narrow bit of sky above it look like exquisite photographs. This is a book about a little book that lives with his grandmother. His parents are gone but we are not told where or why. He is very sad and lonely. Every day he goes to the pound and hangs out by the last cage where the unwanted dogs with little time left are kept. He feels at home with these sad creatures. One day, the dog in the cage is not a dog of that character. He only has three legs but seems to accept his fate with dignity. The little boy, named George, wants to take this one home. He runs home as fast as he can to get his grandmother's permission. The take Jeremy, the scruffy dog, home and decide to make him a leg so he can run and be happy. They try several different materials making him legs out of paper, pastry, and even a wheel. Jeremy is very happy and so is everyone else. This is a terrific story and made me sad and happy at the same time. I love dogs and to hear a story, whether real or not, about one finding a good home makes me feel good. This book could be used in the classroom to teach children about accepting everyone even though they are different. You could also have the children tell what they would use to make Jeremy a new leg with. That would be fun! ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
