Because of Winn-Dixie                          Completed                          Read for 2Hrs.

             Because of Winn-Dixie is about a girl, who's father is the preacher, who finds a dog. She names the dog Winn-Dixie after the store she found it in. She and the dog go on adventures together. They meet new people and while they do so, they learn  important  lessons about life, such as: Life is full of sorrow and sweetness. And Don't judge people until you know what they are feeling.

             I know this book is way under my level, but I am pretty much out of books to read and I don't like going to the library currently. Besides, it is a very sweet story. I really like this book because it is very heartfelt. As you read you are reminded of those Life Lessons that you've been taught. I also love the symbols in the book, like the tree with the bottles hanging from it that represent the ghosts of people's pasts.

            This book is written very simply with no hard vocabulary words, as it is for children. But the organization is wonderful and the sentences flow very nicely.

            A good book for children 3 stars.
