[Kelly (Maybedog) · Rating 4 out of 5]

My daughter loved Mr. Winkle when she was growing up. Now there's some other teddy-bear looking dog that people oo and ah over as even celebrity dogs don't live forever. I thought he was adorable, but I wasn't a fan of the clothes that he was dressed up in for his calendars and books. This one, however, is just him being himself, apparently, and he's not wearing clothes other than things to keep him warm. He is even more adorable this way and so I bought it for her. I don't think it's that fabulous, but she still is nostalgic over this so I'll be putting it in her box of memories.

3.5 stars rounded up.

The prose in this book is nothing special, but the pictures of this adorable pup are enough to make your heart melt.
