When William’s father leaves, his mother promptly goes out and adds four dogs and a cat to their lives. William’s sure that nothing can fill the hole left by his father, but the new additions to the family are determined to help. With his sister, Elinor, and his mother, William will learn that “family” can come in all shapes and sizes, because sometimes we find love through magic, and sometimes that magic is all around us. from Amazon.com
I liked it. It was sweet. This is on the Bluebonnet Master List for 2013-2014. It made me think about family and how we cope with the holes that form in our relationships.. what we fill them with and how we feel about others. I'm not sure how the 3rd graders would react to it, but that's ok. I don't have know that ahead of time. It might make for some good conversation when I get to know next year's kids.
