About the creator of the book
“Cheerful… Charming…the story provides a positive look at two ways of acquiring a new pet.” —Kirkus Reviews
“A gentle first-person text accompanies the watercolor-and-pencil illustrations on soothing beige pages, which perfectly befit the reassuring, happy ending.” —Booklist
Madeline Finn wants to have a dog all her own so badly. She hounds her mother every day until her mother finally concedes and agrees that Madeline can indeed have a dog . Madeline is thrilled and off the two go to Mrs. Dimple's house. Her dog Bonnie has given birth to puppies that need a forever home.
Once at Mrs. Dimple's, Madeline sits down and remains very still. She closes her eyes and whispers her puppy's new name, Star. To her great delight the littlest one comes right over to her and crawls up on her lap. She has been chosen!!! How fun.
Mrs. Dimple then proceeds to tell Madeline and her mother about animal shelters and they decide to visit one. Seeing such a variety of animals there generates many questions in Madeline's curious mind. Who plays with these lonely shelter animals? Does anyone snuggle with them or read to them? If not, maybe she can volunteer to be that person to visit and help out? The workers at the shelter are very happy to oblige Madeline's offer of becoming a volunteer. Madeline explores her options as to how she can be of service to these animals and make a difference in their lives as they await their forever homes.
She brings in towels that the animals can use for beds to snuggle with. She becomes a goodwill ambassador to her neighbours and encourages them to be donors too. She organizes a special reading day for kids to bring blankets and a book to read to the lonely animals. She is committed to being the best volunteer ever!
Madeline learns some very valuable life lessons when she gets involved at the animal shelter. She discovers that even small people can make a huge difference and are very much appreciated when they do. This heartwarming book will perhaps encourage and inspire the reader ( and the whole family ) to become a volunteer also. I highly recommend this book.
