compare to the other version of "green children", "maudie and green children" again is too sad to be read. Although the story reveals the dark side(bias, discriminate...) of the mainstream, its ending fails to project a positive notion of the world to our kids.

Black Dog Dream Dog
21 Feb 2012
Format:Paperback
Black Dog, Dream Dog is a wonderful book. I was hooked in the first chapter. This book is about young
girl, Sam, a stray dog, Horaito, and an old lady, Mrs. Sylvan, who just had a stroke and is placed in an
assisted living facility. Sam and Horaito have a unique bond that only the two of them can understand.
Sam knows that Horaito was placed in her life for a reason.
Sam is a young girl who loves dogs. She has a great personality of a middle schooler and is very stubborn
when it comes to listening to her controlling mother. She finds Horaito and believes he is a magical dog,
but she has to hide him from her mother. Soon, Sam realizes that she needs to find Horaito's owner and
return him even though she really wants to keep him.
Sam's mom has arranged for Sam to go with her on Saturdays to a local nursing home and visit with
the residents. Sam does not want go, but after the first visit she finds that it is something she enjoys.
Sam and her mom bring their small dog with them to visit the residents. Sam decides this would be the
perfect job for Horaito.
Mrs. Sylvan recently had a stroke and is paralyzed and can no longer speak anymore. Mrs. Sylvan wakes
up in a nursing home missing her dog but she does not know how to ask anyone. She is trying to learn
how to form words again so she can ask somewhere about her dog, Little Bear.
The chapters alternate between the adventurous stories of Mrs. Sylvan and Sam. These two stories
begin very differently but leave the reader wanting to learn more. Ultimately the story evolves into a
wonderful story of values and a shared love for a big black dog.

Heart-warming story, not just for young readers
7 Jan 2012
Format:Paperback
Eleven-year-old Samantha wants a dog. Well, a bigger dog. She has a little West Highland terrier, but she wants a BIG dog. Do dreams really come true? In her backyard one afternoon there appears a very big, very friendly, black dog that Sam thinks is magic because he makes her feel peaceful inside. The problem is that Sam knows her mother does not like large dogs and will not let her keep it. What is she going to do? She can't hide him forever.
In the meantime there is Stella, an elderly lady who wakes one morning in a nursing home. She is missing her much loved dog but cannot speak to tell anyone. Also, living in the nursing home means not taking pets along.
Samantha and her mother visit the nursing home with their small pet where they find the residents love dogs. Maybe this is where the big one will belong, Samantha thinks. Her best friend helps her scheme and plan about what to do with the loveable stray before her mother finds out, but things start going all wrong. Through it all there is a surprise waiting for Sam.
This is a `can't-put-it-down-until-having-read-the-whole-thing' book. Even though this book was written for children, it is a wonderful heart-warming story that put a lump in my throat a couple of times. Easy to read and its characters come across as very real.
