I liked this book for 3 reasons. First, Suzanne Fisher Staples uses descriptive language throughout the whole chapter book. The sentence "the pads of his feet are nearly worn off, and his toenails are ground down to bloody little stubs", is an example of descriptive language used in the book. When reading the descriptive sentence I am able to imagine in my head the shape that the dog’s paws were in at this point of the story. Second, the writing is engaging. Suzanne, the main character, wishes for a dog that she cannot have due to her brother’s allergies, but one day she finds the exact dog she dreams about hurt in the median strip of a highway. The book engages readers to keep reading to see what happens to the hurt dog and if Suzanne gets to keep her wish. Lastly, the book pushes readers to think about others. Suzanne spent most of her time thinking about how much she wanted Jeff the dog, rather than what was best for Jeff and his well-being. The big idea of the story is that an undesirable choice for you could very well be what is best for others. Suzanne's parents had to make a choice for Jeff that she did not quite understand: stay cooped up in a house, or be free on a farm. After analyzing the title, I found that green can represent nature. At the end of the story, Jeff the dog finds himself at a new home- a farm including a much greater amount of land for running and playing compared to his previous home. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
