Max discovers that the ratty, difficult, real live stray dog that joins his family is nothing like the noble beast he had imagined. A gentle read for new chapter-book readers that values both the love of pets and the power of the imagination.

First of all this is too high a reading level for most of this group. This is an end of third grade book for sure, and kdg's would find it far too long to sit for. I actually fell asleep three times reading this book, all before page 20. Max wishes for a dog and gets one, not exactly the type of

dog he had hoped for and I'll bet the dog somehow fends off his (Max's) tormentors.

Imagine getting everything you wish for? Max, the new kid in school, is finding it difficult to fit in. So he delves into an imaginary dream world where there are kings and a store called Wishworks, Inc. The owner of the store grants wishes for a nominal fee of $20.00. Wishes from Wishworks, Inc.

are guaranteed. So Max decides to make a wish. Does his wish come true? Well you’ll just have to find out.

I highly recommend this book for 3rd and 4th graders. It has a little fantasy and a dose of reality.

Okay but I like this author's other books much better.
