"Another pup is in the Christmas spotlight with this touching chapter book. Sprinkled with supple water colors ...this gifty looking volume gently tugs the heartstrings."

Note from the author: I couldn't access the author's review page so I am using this venue to ask you to please include this excerpt of a starred review from Publisher's Weekly (Children's Holiday Books, Oct. 1999.) If you have room, you may want to include the entire review: "Another pup is in the Christmas spotlight with this touching chapter book wherein boy meets dog, boy loses dog, boy gives dog away. Zach and his family adopt Tina, a rascally puppy whom they grow to love dearly, and they're heartbroken when she disappears. She's eventually discovered in the company of a homeless man, and Zach makes the ultimate sacrifice when he decides that the stranger needs a friend even more than he does. Sprinkled with supple watercolors and trimmed with thin red borders on each page, this gifty-looking volume gently tugs the heartstrings."

Thank you, Roberta Grobel Intrater

It shows that families can't be apart and the pictures are pretty. the book is also based on a true story.
