Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2ASchnitzel von Krumm's family is packing for a camping trip and the little dachshund is definitely in the way. Once on the road, the parents realize they've forgotten one very important thingASchnitzel von Krumm. A neighbor reunites the neglected pooch with his owners. What could have been a delightful story falls flat. The rhymed verse is lively and rhythmic, but the phrasing is often forced and awkward. The uninspired watercolor illustrations resemble the artwork found in old textbooks. A disappointing effort.AHeide Piehler, Shorewood Public Library, WI

IN A RUSH TO PACK FOR THEIR TRIP, THE FAMILY LEAVES THEIR DOG BEHIND. THE NEIGHBOR NOTICES THE ABANDONED DOG & DRIVES THE DOG TO THE FAMILY. NOT AS CLEVER OR ENTERTAINING AS SLINKY MALINKI, WHICH IS A MUST HAVE.

My son loves this book and so do all my family members. We have read it over and over since receiving it a year ago. The author is talented and captures the young-reader's attention and imagination. A wonderful book.
