By Isaac Appiah
Format:Paperback
This book is one of my all time favorite books. I first read it as a small child while visiting my aunt and I'd seek it out at every visit. As an adult I mentioned the book to my aunt as I wasn't having any luck finding it. She dug it up and sent it to me. Now I give this book to all the children in my life. This book exemplifies the giving spirit of christmas in a touching but simple fashion. Good reading level for young children.

A Kid's Review
Format:Paperback
I will definitely rate the book "Claude the Dog" with five stars. It is the best kids book I have ever read. Not only does it teach a lot in this book about certain things, it also is just a great book to read over and over again and it doesn't get old at all. It is the perfect book for any young kid. it is about a dog named Claude who has a little boy as a master and about another real cute dog. Well the other dog doesn't have a master so he has to sit outside and freeze all winter with no friends except for Claude. For Christmas Claude gets a dog toy and a blanket. Claude sees his friend out side all cold, so he goes outside and gives his friend his blanket and his toy because his friend is lonely and doesn't have anything to keep him warm or to play with. His friend felt bad because he was taking all of Claude's Christmas gifts. But Claude said my best gift is sitting back at home. He was referring to the little boy. I think the story teaches kids that it is a very good thing to share with others. And that if you share it is possible for you and the other person to still be happy with what you have. Yes, I would definitely recommend this book to everyone and if you don't have it, you should run out and go buy it! And if the sharing thing wont get you to like it, the cute pictures of the dogs definitely will!

Expected better condition.
I knew this book was old, but for the price I thought it would be in better condition. The pages are yellowed and gum is stuck to one page.
