A big round of "Awwws" for Homer. Is there really anything sweeter than a content old dog? Another winner by Elisha Cooper.
Caution: Kleenix required; brought the tears to the eyes.
A sweet book for anyone who had a family with small children and an older, less mobile pet.
Anyone who's ever loved a dog will totally "get" this book. Homer is a dog's dog who's just content lying around, knowing that his people are nearby. The ending will tug on your heartstrings.
Home isn't just where the heart is. Home is often where the dog is. And for this loyal dog - who you will recognize if you have ever loved a dog - home is where you are.
This is a short book for the really young ones, where Homer the dog knows exactly what he wants. Whilst everyone spends the day outside doing fun things, Homer waits patiently at home because he knows he's happy as long as he has his family. This is a wonderful point to make, as long as Homer is not interpreted as being lazy.
If you are a dog lover... Better yet, if you are a family of dog lovers,this brief but beautiful book about a dog who finds love in simplicity is mandatory reading. Some dog lovers long for an active, playful dog, but this book is proof that everyone has a place in their heart for a dog that just loves to sit & watch the world with loving curiosity. Homer is content to enjoy the wonders of the world both from his front porch seat & through the enthusiastic cheers of his family. Who wouldn't love a dog like Homer?
This book featured some beautiful illustrations and a great dog. Homer sits on the porch watching everyone else frolicking around on the beach and in the yard and patiently waits for them to return home. If you've ever had or loved a dog this is a great little book to share with a young reader. There's not much in the way of story, but the pictures are beautiful and offer a lot to talk about with your young one.
This book is like comfort food. But more nourishing.
