pEllie Martin fiercely resists her new dogs charmsppIt isnt Ellies fault, really. Shes always wanted a puppy, and now that shes almost nine, finally old enough to get one, Preston is foisted on her. Whats more, her parents say that this fully grown mutt that Greataunt Margaret can no longer keep will have to do. They cant very well have a dog and a puppy. Although heartbroken and resentful, Ellie does see Prestons virtues. Still, she refuses to accept him as her dog. Then Ellies resistance almost costs her Preston, and at last she embraces him. Colby Rodowskys story about a childs change of heart has just enough tenderness and just enough bite to satisfy young dog lovers. Captivating drawings by Thomas F. Yezerski highlight the experience.p
