Reviews

[Hákon Gunnarsson]

The little Jack Russel terrier pup ends up homeless when the family that owns him moves to America. Gracie wants a dog, but her family can't have one in the house they live in, so she and her brother start to volunteer in a local dog shelter, where she comes across Harry.

Life in a dog shelter, why dogs end up there, and how they feel about it, is not an easy thing to write about in a children's story, but Holly Webb does it well in this book. It feels realistic enough, and at the same time quite cute. Definitely a good dog story for kids.

[John Naylor]

I enjoy Holly Webb's animal stories because they work. Both on an educational and an emotional level. They never feel repetitive or slip into cliché. This was no exception.

This is a stand-alone book that all ages can enjoy. I did.

[Alana Robinson]

This was a really good book, you need to read the book.

[Sofy]

This wonderful book by Holly Webb is delightful. I finished reading it in 2 and a half hours (8 chapters). I highly recommend it. Since you started reading the first page, you don't want to do anything. All Holly Webb books are wonderful !!!

[Gloria]

Perfect book for a 6-7 year old apartment-living girl who is caring and loves dogs. She will understand the ups-and-downs of dog ownership Grace and Harry experience before ending up together.

[Caren]

A good choice for a little 2nd-3rd grader girl who loves dogs.

[Simon Pedoe]

Another brilliant book to read to my kids.

[Shazza Maddog]

Grabbed for my grandnieces.

A sweet little story about a puppy whose family is moving overseas and cannot take him. Harry winds up at an animal shelter and shuts down until a girl named Grace starts volunteering at the shelter. She falls in love with Harry and the feeling is mutual - but Grace's family lives in an apartment where they cannot have a dog.

Will Grace's family find a new place to live or will Harry go to another family?

1.75⭐

No tak średnio bym powiedziała. Nie podobało mi się zachowanie Grace, która wiedząc, że nie powinna się zbytnio przywiązywać do zwierząt - tak powiedziała jej pracownica schroniska - spędzała czas tylko z Harrym (tak przynajmniej wynika z książki) + zniechęcała ludzi do jego adopcji ,,bo on chce tylko mnie, bo mnie polubił i nikt nie może go mieć". Była jedna sytuacja, gdzie poszła na spacer z innym psem i zachowywała się, jakby robiła to za karę, bo to nie Harry.

3,5’tan 4. Harry’nin sahipleri sürekli değişiyor, Beth başka ülkeye taşınıyor, sevimli hanım da onu bırakıyor, sonra bir aile alıyor ama Harry onlarla oynamıyor. Sonunda Grace sahipleniyor ve sonsuza kadar mutlu yaşıyooor. Beğendim güzel, okuyun.

[Jane]

my favorite part is when grace adopted harry but someone else took him that moment but at that house he was not having a very good time so they decided to put him back at the shelter and then when grace came back she got him

[Marlee]

A sweet book with a predictable and happy ending. Quite a sad beginning. A nice story for young dog lovers.

[Natalie]

Harry the Homeless Puppy was a good book with unexpected twist. This book was also a book with a happy ending that was unexpected.

[Evelina]

I think this and all other Holly Webb book are the best /

[Amanda Bell]

Harry was my favorite character.

[Anni Lapinkangas]

Tämä oli kauhean surullinen kirja ja kauhean hyvä myös. T. Enni, 6v.

[Emma]

It is about dogs so I love it

[April Delgado]

A beautiful book about shelter animals and volunteers. And the Puppy!!! Aww Harry.
Loved it

[Dan]

Oh how horrid it must be for Harry to have two loving owners but be forced to succumb to so many family transfers before settling into the one.

[Kiki]

One of the first books I've read from this series (if not the first).
The cover, I admit, is what drew me to it. It's so cute! I knew I had to buy it.
It's a very sweet, amazing story. Some scenes made me emotional.
Definitely recommend.

THIS BOOKS BY HOLLY WEBB ARE SOOO BEAUTYFUL!I LEARND VERY MUCH ABOUT DOGS AND CATS.THANK YOU VERY MUCH ,HOLLY WEBB!

[Jessica Hudson]

Harry is a puppy that is left at a dog shelter by his owner, Beth, because she has to move. He wants nothing more than his beloved Beth to come back to take him home, but fate has other plans. A little girl named Grace begins to volunteer at the dog shelter and falls in love with the little puppy called Harry. Instead of a dog and his boy, this is the tale of a dog and his girl or a girl and her dog. It gives the perspective of both Grace and Harry throughout the book to help the reader understand the bond between these two better. I felt like a little girl again while reading this book. Every moment of it is enthralling. It would be a great book to read to young elementary students or to use in a lesson on responsibility.
