Because of Winn-Dixie

By Kate DiCamillo
Review by Rose, Grade 5



Because of Winn-Dixie is a book about friendship that will touch your heart. In this book there’s a girl named Opal. She lost her mama when she was 3. Her daddy is a preacher. They moved to a new town and Opal is very lonely. She takes a trip to the grocery store and finds a dog, which she names Winn-Dixie, and that leads to her making friends. The funniest part of the book when they didn’t know why Winn-Dixie went crazy during the storm. Winn-Dixie got scared and ran around the trailer knocking ever thing down. The special thing about this book is the way Opal talks and talks. I recommend this book to a teacher that loves to read books to their class.

  1. Because of Winne Dixie is such a fun book to read. I like to read it with a slight Southern accent.
