Noelle is a beautiful little bulldog who is awaiting adoption. A little girl sees her and instantly bonds with her. Delighted at having a home, the little bulldog decides to explore her new world.

The gentle bulldog is saddened when she feels she does not fit in her new environment. She thinks every other creature is more appealing that she is. Brightly colored creatures such as a sunflower, fish in a pond and a butterfly convince Noelle just how wonderful and special she is. A pack of dalmatians come to respect the little bulldog when she comes through for them as do the fish.

I love the book; the bright colors and the adorable little bulldog who found herself a place in the hearts of those who read her story. This is a nice story with a timeless message that is not presented in cliche form. I think it is gentle and not judgmental and I really loved the picture of the girl embracing Noelle. The sweet little bulldog is unconditionally loved and accepted.

The Beatle classic, "Hey, Bulldog!" underscores this lovely story. Noelle's name ties in nicely with Christmas and the spirit of love and giving is beautifully presented in this book. I love it!

I am a volunteer reader for a dual immersion class of first graders, and this was the book that each child recieved as a gift from the program. I had the pleasure of reading it to them before I handed it out, and they loved it! I loved it. The CD is a nice touch and I have to say that it brought tears to my eyes. The children thought I was crying because it made me sad. Quite the opposite. I am buying it for a friend's little boy who will be entering the program next September. It is beautifully told and illustrated. Spanish or English it is a wonderful book for children!
