I loved this book growing up and still love it now! I would want to read this as a class in third grade or the beginning of fourth grade. There is a movie based off this book. For my lesson we would read the book and then watch the movie. Once the class finishes both, the students will have to write...
I find DiCamillo’s books disappointing. They read like shadows of the books I loved as a kid, always a little too derivative and not quite creative enough. The characters in Winn-Dixie are interesting but there are so many of them, and the book is so short there’s no time to develop their stories. D...
Because of Winn-Dixie is a book that every child should get the chance to read.

I read this in 3rd grade and I really liked it. It is a very sweet story. I liked Opal's relationships with her new friends and with the dog Winn-Dixie. This is a very sweet and touching story. I originally gave this book three stars, but moved my rating up to four stars. This is a great book. I Rec...
