5.0 out of 5 stars One Fine Book!!, July 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Dog Called Kitty (Paperback)

A boy named Rick is attacked by a mad dog when he is a baby and never forgets it. Years later a small dog comes out of the barn. Rick is terrified. He has to face his fears or the dog will starve to death. I read this book 2 years ago and I can still remember the whole book. Bill Wallace makes you feel like you are right next to Rick threw the whole book. I could not put the book down and finished it in the middle of the night. This is one book you have to read! I am a huge Bill Wallace fan and I think you will be one too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great pick for a bookclub, August 13, 2006

This review is from: Dog Called Kitty (Paperback)

I heard of this book and wanted to check it out for a bookclub for 4th and 5th graders. After checking out some on-line reviews, many of which were from people who read it when orginally published in the 80's, I decided to use it. What impressed me most about the reviews was that the people who read it back then remember it making a big impression on them and couldn't wait to share it with their children. I have several books I feel that way about so figured if it had such a strong impression it would be worth a shot.

It turned out to be a good call. Most of the children finished it and almost all really liked it. We had a discussion about the fear the main character had of dogs and fears they have. Mnay of them felt a lot of different emotions throughout the book and although it had some diffecult scenes they really liked how the story unfolded and the end of the story.

2.0 out of 5 stars Young Dog Lovers Beware, December 11, 2007

By 

HKVan "HKVan" (Hartland, WI United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dog Called Kitty (Rack Size) (Paperback)

Although a very well written book, I would not have allowed my young daughter to read this if I had know the outcome of the story. Young dog lovers beware, that "Kitty" DIES unexpectedly, and tragically toward the end of the story. My daughter loves dogs and cats, and was so distraught by Kitty's death, that she didn't care that the boy finds another dog to begin a friendship with. In fact, I don't know that she even read the last several pages of the book right away, because she was so upset. She is okay with it now, and still likes the book, but as a parent, I wish I would have seen the book summary on this site prior to letting her read it.
