I love it and in it the book mentions a dog that passed away and our dog passed a little over a couple months ago so help.

One of the series I used to borrow from my school library to obsess over as a first grader. I actually named my fluffy stuffed kitten Snowball after I read this.

I felt so happy reading this book. Snowball is one of my favorite breeds of dog - a terrier.

This book features kids being positive to animals, including puppy care tips! It also teaches a sensitivity to elders in society.

Charles is in grade two and Lizzie is in grade four. They have been bugging their parents to get a dog but their mom is a cat person and has said no. She agrees to let them foster dogs so they can see what it's like having the responsibility of having a dog. Their father gets a call that a Westie puppy was left at a gas station and needs a home. Charles and Lizzie are allowed to foster the dog, who they name Snowball, but they discover that Westies need a lot of attention and supervision and happily they find the perfect home for him.
Though this book is a quick read and directed at elementary-aged children, I found it entertaining. There are lessons included in the story like teaching a dog commands and tricks and there is a puppy tip at the end. It is written in third person perspective and first person from Snowball's point of view. It is the second in the Puppy Place series, which currently has 64 books in the series.

Second volume of the Puppy Place series sees another tale of a puppy finding their way home. Okay but pretty hard to distinguish from book one essentially a slightly different dog with similar results.

It was good, the author put a lot of detail in it. I was kind of sad near the end of the book, but at the end I was happy

Kids that like dogs will love this series. This is the 2nd book of the series that I've read. It was a very quick read and very predictable. Interest level would probably be 1st-3rd grades.

In this book there is a great relationship arc between the grade two boy with an older “book buddy� at a senior home! I loved the interactions between them! We enjoy these books so much!
