Pippo????????????????????

[mypuplola]

Have any of you seen "Pippo, A Little Dog Finds a Home?" It's a book about this little doxie that is abused by his first owners, gets dumped in the woods and how he is rescued. It's an older book, published in 1995. I got it off of ebay. It's really cute!!! I am going to take it and read it to my third graders. It has little fold outs that add to the story. Very good story.:hug2:

I just checked the reviews on amazon and found this. Just the summary alone makes me SO SAD!

"they threw a little stick.... but when I returned proudly with the stick clenched in my teeth, I was completely alone"
:sob: :cry:




Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
This maudlin account of an abandoned puppy taken in by a loving family is a tale only a sentimentalist could love. Pippo, as the pup is known, tells of being snatched rudely from his mother and given as a present to a boy, mistreated ("'Come here?now!' meant it was finally time to take a walk outside"), being left in the wintry woods ("they threw a little stick.... but when I returned proudly with the stick clenched in my teeth, I was completely alone") and eventually rescued by kindhearted folks who take him into their "people-kennel." Life improves immeasurably for the grateful Pippo, who earnestly describes how "I look after my family." Watercolors depict Pippo (allegedly a dachshund) as a generic pup; Pippo's pudgy body and bulbous feet may be stuffed-animal cute, but they're indistinct compared to the more realistic sketches of people. Four wan foldouts, including one of a miserable Pippo at the bottom of the mean family's cellar stairs, halfheartedly court the pop-up book audience. Ages 4-8.

OK, I don't like the review. :angry013: We are all sentimentalists!!! :sillylove:We love our dachshunds!!! :hug2: ANY story about a doxie and we are right there!!! This is a really cute story!!! My kids will love it!!! I haven't seen it around at all until now. I believe I have collected every dachshund book out there. I keep searching. I have quite the collection. At the beginning of the school year, I read these books to the kids. They get all hooked up about dachshunds!!! Then they have to work to have Lola and Bocce come visit them!!! BRIBERY!!:Sun2:
