"Here's a really good book...for that neglected second-to-third-grade market. Eight-year-old Ellie wants a puppy more than anything else in the world...So she's not happy when her parents inform her that they are adopting a full-grown dog - a 'sort of square, boring brown dog with sticking-up ears and a skinny tail' - named Preston who belonged to a distant relative...Gradually, however, Preston wins her over. Readers will find their interest engaged and held from beginning to end, and will close the book with great satisfaction."-Starred," The Horn Book"
"A neat twist on the girl-yearns-for-dog story, this begining chapter book has much to recommend it...Thomas F. Yezerski's 10 full-page drawings illustrate the characters' actions, attitudes, and emotions in a most appealing way. An excellent choice for children." - "Booklist"

Reseña del editor:

Not thrilled with the realization that she is getting a full grown dog instead of a cute little puppy, Ellie isn't very receptive to her new pet, Preston, when he first arrives, but Preston is a determined pooch and soon wins her over with his charming personality and loving loyalty. An ALA Notable Book. Reprint.
