    this book is so awsome because it has charater, like some funny and stupid moments when it dont even make sensei ntil the end of the movie like in the beginning of the movie the dog just shows up in the store when she is getting her stuff for her dad. but if you take the time to read this book you will read it over and over again like i did about 10 times!!!
