Summary: The summer Opal and her father, the preacher, move to Naomi, Florida, Opal goes into the Winn-Dixie supermarket -- and comes out with a dog. With the help of her new pal, whom she names Winn-Dixie, Opal makes a variety of new, interesting friends and spends the summer collecting stories about them and thinking about her absent mother. But because of Winn-Dixie, or perhaps because she has grown, Opal learns to let go, just a little, and that friendship -- and forgiveness -- can sneak up on you like a sudden summer storm.

Opal found a dog in the store. She named the dog Winn Dixie like the store's name. Winn Dixie helps Opal do lot of things. I like the story because it was funny.

My Fav part of "Winn-Dixie" is when she first takes Winn-Dixie into the pet shop and the parrot sits on Winn-Dixie's head.

Review:

I think it was a funny book. The reason why I think it was funny is because Winn Dixie jumped on the guard.

I like Because of Winn Dixie because I like animal stories. My favorite part of Winn Dixie is when Opal was looking for Winn Dixie.

Winn Dixie is a fun book for all kids because it is funny, joyful, and fun to listen. Most of all it made me feel good inside.
