5 out of 5 stars A wonderful book by the late Willie Morris   April 10, 2009
Booklover (Connecticut)
I came late to this book, but - wow! - it is wonderful. Willie Morris transports you to the time and place of his youth and to his friendship with a dog that every kid should have had when growing up. You'll love Skip, and like every dog or pet you may have loved in your life, he'll break your heart when he dies.

To anyone who has a dog, read this book, share with your family and friends. The story of loyalty in this book explains the love a boy and his dog share.

If you have a young reader in mind, give it to him or her. You will be glad you did.



4 out of 5 stars About a boy and his dog...   January 23, 2007

This book is the story of Willie Morris' childhood companion, a dog named Skip. Willie recounts his adolescent years and all the fond memories of his dog and friends as they grew up together in small town Mississippi. The story is heartwarming and the author paints a very clear picture of all the shenanigans, good times and bad that he and his dog had together over the years. I liked this book; but I think a male reader would appreciate the bond between a boy and his dog more than I can.

This is a wonderful and touching story. It is a good read, and I recommend it to anyone who has ever had a pet. I especially like that it has a jack russell in the story.
