My Thoughts About This Book:
|
Oh, what an adorable little book. I really wish this would have been published when I was a kid. Younger me would have enjoyed this book immensely. This is such a good book for little girls. The illustrations are charming and sweet. They would be appealing to any little girl but I feel this book might be great for 6 to nine-year-olds. I am unsure if any older reader would enjoy this book as it is a little juvenile.
The story follows little Amy, who despicably wants a pet. She basically wants this pet so she can enter her family into a competition where the prize is a nice little vacation. She thinks her family really deserves one and is determined to do this for them. Sadly her parents remember that they have no money to care for a pet. Out of nowhere, a sweet fairy Godmother gives her a rock with a funny little face drawn on it. Unfortunately, when it comes to life she realizes she has a situation on her hands. She has gotten far more than what she bargained for.
The only downside to this book is it very sad in the beginning, which may upset sensitive readers. Other than that the book has a great story, that teaches some good morals.
