Fun and meaningful story for young children
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
My 6 year old loved the story dearly. She sympathized with Rocky's plight early on, and she found great humor in the fact that the dog was eventually 'adopted' by the cats. The story does refer to the children as 'little monsters' because of the way they treated their pets, but I welcomed it as an opportunity to discuss how to treat animals gently and lovingly. Finally, I thought it was touching how the author subtley portrays the bond Rocky had with Nini.
