Cuando los primos Dennis y Mellie deciden adoptar a un perro, ellos consideran cuidadosamente qu? raza ser?a la mejor para cada familia. Por ejemplo, Dennis quiere un perro grande, pero Mellie quiere uno peque?o. ?l quiere ense?arle a su perro muchos trucos, pero ella solo quiere ense?ar comandos simples.

Dennis escribe un ensayo para su profesora, la maestra Shirky, pero ?su opini?n podr? convencer a sus padres? Esta historia toma un tema popular -ni?os que adoptan una mascota- y le a?ade perros de variadas razas y formas: todas las clases de escritura deber?an ser as? de divertidas.

All writing lessons should be this much fun. SLJ Review: . . .fill(s) a niche for teachers. . . When cousins Dennis and Mellie decide to get a dog, they consider carefully what breed would be best for each family. For example, Dennis wants a big dog, but Mellie wants tiny. He has no other pets, but she has other pets that a dog must get along with. They consider different dog personalities, family situations, and personal preferences. Dennis writes an opinion essay for his teacher, Mrs. Shirky. But will his essay convince his parents to get the dog of his dreams? This story takes a popular subject-kids getting a pet-and adds dogs of all sizes and shapes: all writing lessons should be this much fun. In the end, it's cousins and the dogs that keep a reader turning the page. What kind of dog will Dennis choose? Will Mellie want the same kind of dog?...
