I usually refrain from commenting when I haven't finished the book, but this one has me stumped. How was this selected as the Newbery winner? I couldn't care enough about the dog or story to continue reading. Is there a child that would?

I know I was warned at the very beginning that the places in the book were not real. Except... this place seemed awfully familiar to me, and I reveled in that feeling. It was described in such excruciatingly accurate detail that I recognized Cape Man. I must admit that I became annoyed when Johannes learned a fact about the location of his park from the goats, and that fact didn't go with what I thought I knew about the park. I then proceeded to feel disappointed when the plot went in a different direction than I was expecting, but I did stop short of throwing my copper De Young Museum bookmark across the room.
Now that I've gotten that off of my chest, this was an enjoyable escape with unique and truly loveable characters.
