My Review

Two Thumbs WAY up!!! I thought this is a great book for ALL ages young and old, who ever can read it. Ms. DiCamillo is a great writer who could direct in movies the way she enters feeling and mood into a book. Because of Winn-Dixie made a wonderful movie and so does Tale of Despereaux. She should continue and create more book to become world favorites!!! (Ages9-99)

Livie Anderson

wonderful!

This book is a very interesting book. I thought that it was such a great book that I thought that I should read it again or pass it on to one of my family members. I gave the book for my mom to read, and she absolutely loved it! Now, my grandma is reading it. It was just a wonderful book!

GREAT BOOK

This book is one you (even if you don't read much at all) will love to read any time. It is a great book and as a student I must say I LOVED THAT BOOK!!! It was about the 2nd best ever book the fourth grade @ my school has ever read!! Because of Winn-dixie is probably my favorite book we've read.
