    <body><![CDATA[I read this as a kid when we were driving back from Montreal, we got lost and went the wrong way (into Canada) for an hour before there was an exit to turn around.

    <body><![CDATA[A friend recommended this book to me and apparently wanted me to read it enough that he sent me a copy. It is classified as a young reader's book. That may or may not be an entirely accurate classification. If you have a dog or you love dogs or you're a dog person in any manner, you'll enjoy this bo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25130325">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was a family favorite, and as an adult I find each re-read is enjoyable as the first.
