Winn-Dixie is a book for any age. I am in my 30's and have a 11-year old child. We read it together and absolutely loved it. Opal and Winn-Dixie are a great team. It won't take long for the reader to fall in love with Opal, her dog and eventually all the characters. I don't want to comment on the specific story line as to not spoil the plot for you, but you'll find yourself caught up in the life of a 10-year old girl and her dog

Because of Winn-Dixie
This is one of the best book's I've read in along time,
It's fun, energetic& sometimes sad. That's what, sometimes, makes a good book, moreover, there are a lot of good books out there, but this is a very good one,
Because most everyone can relate to what the character's are feeling & doing.

There are a lot of things I liked, in this book.
For one, the loving dog who, changed a heart broken little girl & her father. The thing I liked is, that the characters are believable, the things they say, & do,
people can relate to. The story ended in a" happy" manner, that most people like.
My favorite part, is when Winn-Dixie (the dog),
Burst through the Winn-Dixie super market, knocking down the manager, in which was chasing him& all the employees were to.

I recommend this to 3-6 grade school students, but that don't mean anything it don't matter if your 60 years old a good book, is a good book.

This book is a great book. Its filled with adventure ,as a little girl finds her way around her new town. She finds her new best friend in a Winn-dixie supermarket, causing trouble and mischeif a dog also known as mans bestfriend, who helps her make new friends that help her go on with her new life in this new town.

One of the best parts of this book to me was when Winn-Dixie runs off because of the thunder and lightning. The little girls father helps her try to find him but no clues as they search the town. On there way back they catch up on conversation they had never talked about since of litle time they spent together. When they reach the house the little girl says" We didn't find him" to her friends with sad looks on their faces. Then her friend Gloria ,an old lady who is blind, says "well child he's been under the table". In that moment all the children run to the floor to hug Winn- Dixies and cheer.

I would recommend this book to anyone. You get caught up in it and you won't want to put it down. Its a book of friendship , trust , loyalty and a way of telling others you care. If you like a good book of a friendship between human and animal you will love this book. Winn-Dixie brings in new friends and people in to the little girls life. Getting attention by giving a big smile to anyone who will pet him. The dog knows what the girl is feeling and tries to help her out. Thats why I would recommend this book.
