  1. This book will never be forgotten, It was just amazing, truly a classic. I found it so easy to connect with such a foreign animal, which makes any author the winner in my book. I felt so bad when Squirrel's mother passed, but loved how she matued through the book. If you're looking for any sure-fire winner, then you must check out a dog's life, it's the best.

  2. I really enjoyed this book because it was from a dog's point of view,which made the book very interesting.I highly recommend this book ,but, it is a sad book between Squirrel,Mother,and Bone. But before reading this book you have to remember that all stories aren't always happy. I also love this book because it does have a happy ending between Suzie and Squirrel. I don't want to give you any spoilers but this truly a great book. The description says "This is a story no one will forget". That is true.
