I read this book in Sept of 2007 and loved the first line: "My name is India Opal Bulane adn last summer my daddy , the preacher, sent me to the sotre for a box of macaroni and cheese and I came home with a dog. And the last line: I think it's the last??? "And then Otis and gloria and Sweetie and all started to sing a song. And I listened careful, so I could learn it right." LOVELY BOOK>won the Caldecott prize for literature.
One of the funniest things about the dog Winn-Dixie is the way he smiles at people. There are sad parts in this story, even candy that taste sad. But Winn-Dixie becomes a friend to Opal and others and good things happen.
The book Because of Winn-Dixie is about a girl named India Opal. Her mom left her when she was really young and her father was a preacher. She moved to Florida and she has feels very lonely and she didn't have any friends at all. But one day she found a dog who she named Winn-Dixie and because of Winn-Dixie she made many friends
This book was ok....it was nothing exciting just a book about this girl who finds a dog and has all these memories with it. so this book could relate to my life except i have a mom and she doesnt and i dont have a dog that can smile. Also i dont talk to random strangers. STRANGER DANGER!
Winn Dixie is a very good book, that's why I chose it to be my favorite book. I think other kids should read this book too, because it's about if you love someone then he or she sticks to you forever. So that's a very good lesson for kids. That's why I chose this book.
Sweet book. So happy to have found it at Value Village, as I had wanted to read it for quite some time because I had read about the author and found her life story to be fascinating and felt endeared toward her.
I don't know - maybe I would have liked it better if Winn-Dixie were a cat... This book is a favorite among MS English teachers and low readers seem to like it.
Opal and her father have just moved to Naomi, Florida. Making Opal the new girl in town. One day Opal decides to go to the supermarket, and comes across a mischievous dog.Not knowing what to do Opal decides to take this dog home with her, name the dog Winn Dixie. Winn Dixie and Opal would pass their days by visiting the librarian, Miss Franny Block, the pet shop with Otis, and also spending time with Gloria Dump. With the absence of opals mother in her life and with also being the new girl in town. Opal finds comfort with Winn Dixie.
The first reason why I liked this book was because I could relate to Opal. Since my mother is absent in my life. The second reason was that I enjoyed seeing Opal's perspectives of her new town and the people in it.
The book Because of Winn-Dixie is about a girl named India Opal. Her mom left her when she was really young and her father was a preacher.

I like this book because it was really touching and interesting. Also I find it amazing how a dog can bring a bunch of people together and make them become friends. I recommend this to people who likes dogs.
i like this book a lot because it has to with dogs and i like dogs more than cats i will rate this book an 5 or an 4 in a half because me and the the girl ople because she was trying to get winn-dixie to be her dog because she always wanted a dog. they said that she act just like her mom but when she was little her mom took every thing of her stuff and went some where else and ople want to know more about her mom. the people who wants to read this book is the people that like dogs.
I read this book and I loved a lot . Enjoyed each and every page very much . The plot of the story is well written by the author . So relished and refreshed . But the book is for the people who like young fiction
It was fun amazing and wonderful book. I will definitely read this again. One of my favorites gets five stars. It has fun and adventure. It’s an awesome childhood story to remember. it’s all about loving being kind to one another, even even in hard times, and you will always make friends. It doesn’t matter who you are daughter‘s preacher, a pilot’s daughter, and and all the above. You’re special in our own ways and nothing will ever change that.
I think this book is really good. it is actually the second time that I have read it. I would recommend it to anyone that loves dogs and happy endings.
