The #1 New York Times bestseller and beloved classic includes an afterword from the author. One summer's day, ten-year-old India Opal Buloni goes down to the local supermarket for some groceries--and comes home with a dog. But Winn-Dixie is no ordinary dog. It's because of Winn-Dixie that Opal begins to make friends. And it's because of Winn-Dixie that she finally dares to ask her father about her mother, who left when Opal was three. In fact, as Opal admits, just about everything that happens that summer is because of Winn-Dixie. "This book is (I hope) a hymn of praise to dogs, friendship, and the South," Kate DiCamillo said of her best-selling debut novel, which has been awarded a Newbery Honor, translated into nearly thirty languages, and turned into a major motion picture. The story of a preacher's daughter named Opal whose life is transformed by a scruffy dog named Winn-Dixie continues to touch the hearts of readers of all ages. Review: A kind story about a girl and a dog - This is a kind novel about a 10-year old girl and her new dog Winn-Dixie and how it becomes the new and important member of the family and helps a girl to find a new friend. This is a good story about life with a dog, about friendship, care, support and help. I purchased this book for my 8-year old daughter and she really enjoys the story. Review: We loved it - Beautiful, poetic, uplifting and deep book about loss and friendship, and about how we can find happiness despite having lost someone we love. I read it with my 7 years old. I must confess I cried in some parts, but he was fine. He loved it too. We both found it hard to put down. All the characters are great, and it's full of good values and lessons

Lovely, lovely book
I loved this book so much I then bought it for 2 different children. I did ask a friend's child to read it to as I wondered whether I was hankering after times pasts but she, a 10year old Londoner also thought it was great. Highly recommend. Reading this book has led me to buy other DiCamillo books, which have also been very good but asthma was the first I bought I have a soft spot for it.

very nice
This book was very nice and funny with lots of different people in it, but at the end it gets a bit sad but then it gets happier. This book explains that you don't get friends the instant you move to another town, it just takes time and the girl, India Opal has many different friends, adults and kids . The funniest bit of the book is when India Opal finds the dog in the supermarket and names him the name of the supermarket, Winn-Dixie. This book is very nice and I really enjoyed reading it. I hope you have fun reading too.

Love, loss and a dog. Funny & moving.
A lovely book for my soon to be 10 daughter. The story speaks to love and loss in language that a child can understand. Good to read aloud, a measure of well written prose.

Facile pour les débutants / Easy way to learn some English
Premier livre que j'ai du étudier en 6ème, je l'ai adoré, dans celui que j'ai eu il y avait des photos du films. J'ai acheté celui pour l'offrir à ma voisine qui entre en 6ème, j'espère qu'elle va l'apprécier autant que moi. Facile a comprendre pour les débutants en anglais, je l'ai prêté a de nombreuses personnes en quête d'amélioration de leur anglais.

穏やかな気持ちになる本
英語学習者に適した、多読によい分かりやすい英語の本です。ストーリーが地味なので、少し退屈するかもしれません。人は皆んなそれぞれ、歴史があり傷を抱えていて、折り合いをつけながら暮らしている。皆んなが少しずつ優しさを持ち寄る、みたいな、じーんとあたたかい、優しいお話でした。
