Because of Winn-Dixie
Because of Winn-Dixie
by Kate DiCammilo (2001)
Newbery Honor Book
A dog that smiles and is afraid of thunderstorms. A mother that runs off and a father that preaches. Quirky townsfolk that help a girl cope. Great book.
I think this book would be useful in helping students start writing, using pets/animals that communicate with children.

This is one of my favorite elementary fiction books. It just tells such a good story is an easy read-aloud and the movie was pretty good as well!
