Because of Winn Dixie
This is an excellent book to be read to prereaders and for early readers on up to adults. Ms Dicamillo has another book 'The Tales of Desperaux' that is fantastic and will be a full length animated feature motion picture being released on December 19th.

Great beginning chapter book
My niece was not inspired by any chapter books. The clerk at a local bookstore recommended this series and BAM!--the niece was hooked. My only question is: can Kate DiCamillo write these fast enough to satisfy a book-hungry seven-year-old? This is also a great book to read out loud. The characters and humor jump off the page, even when a non-actor such as myself attempts to "do voices."

This is a great set for 4+ year olds
Very cute set of stories about a couple who have a "pet" pig named Mercy who they treat like their child. Great illustrations and fun story line. My 4-1/2 year old son just got these for Christmas and loves them. The illustrator has done some other books that are excellent ("If I Built a Car") which I also highly recommend. This gift set is hard back and of very nice quality.

Great item!
I am a big Because Of Winn-Dixie fan and when I saw this I immediatley wanted it! Winn-Dixie is very soft, very very soft and is about 8 inches tall. Perfect for every fan! The scrapbook is hosted by Winn-Dixie and it shows cool pics and a section on each person. A must for any Because of Winn-Dixie fan!

Un libro molto interessante
This children's book, translated into Italian, is excellent for both youngsters learning Italian and for students of Italian who wish to practice translating without the complex sentence structure of magazines or newspapers. You can learn sentence structure and word placement easily and with enjoyment. The author won the Newberry Award with this, her first book. The book is about a young girl ...

An Amazing Adventure Anyone Can Love
This is one of my favorite books of all time! It's a beautiful story. The plot and characters are amazing! You feel like the author is really talking to you. She tells you things and you know she is because she says "Dear reader" when telling you something. At one point in the story she tells you to look a word up in the dictionary because she knows you might not know what it means. Desperaux ...

A Miraculous and Touching Story.
This is a great story about a porcelain rabbit who doesn't move but thinks deeply about his surroundings which are constantly changing. During his "travels" he meets many different people, including a vagabond and his dog, a fisherman, and a little boy whose sister is very ill. There is a very surprising and memorable ending, but you have to read the book to discover it.

A great book that everyone can relate too!
Because of Winn Dixie is one of the best books I have ever read. I can relate to the characters in this story. The story is about a girl who moves to Naomi, Florida with her father who is a preacher. The girl's name is Opal and she makes a trustworthy friend at the Winn Dixie supermarket. Her friend is a stray dog who smiles showing all of his teeth and she decides to name him Winn Dixie. ...

Quality Literature
I started off by reading this little jewel to my second grade daughter. Before long, I found myself reading this by myself until the very end. I simply could not put it down! The next day I purchased book group copies for my eighth grade classroom. Di Camillo's writing is eloquent and engaging and her characters leap off the page as you find yourself pulled into their struggles. The Tiger ...

My four boys love these books about Mercy the pig. They make a great first chapter book for readers too. They now ask for toast with a great deal of butter at breakfast time.
