Editorial Reviews

Review

Kingston, a wealthy pedigree dachshund meets Rags, a country hound. Each one believes he has everything, until they meet. With a unique style of traveling through the past and bringing the reader there so vividly as to find one's self in the present, Lydia Ugolini is a compelling and moving storyteller. The Story Of A Rich Dog And A Poor Dog is an uplifting, inspiring, and comforting story about being who you are. When material possessions are used to measure personal worth, it's discovered that true happiness and genuine wealth only exists where there is freedom to be one's self and develop one's natural abilities. The Story Of A Rich Dog And A Poor Dog is a timeless fable for young readers, and one that will be much appreciated by older readers as well. -- Midwest Book Review
