Summary: Couldn't put it down
Comment: I work in a library and was looking at this book to catalog it. Usually I just look at a few pages of children's books, but I had to read this one from cover to cover. It really is exceptional, and my eyes were tearing up by the end. (Happy tears!) This would be great for any child (or adult) who loves dogs, has been concerned about a stray dog, or who is going through a lonely period.

Summary: It made me want a dog
Comment: Orville is one of the best children's books I've dicovered in a long while. It has the wit and soft spoken charm that speaks to children as well as adults. The storyline is no sachharine tale --- instead it uses reality and real characters to illustrate the finer points of love and synchronicity and the need to not judge by appearance. Parents who want their children to grow up with wise and age-appropriate books will want to get Orville. I've also purchased extra copies for my nieces and nephews. A lovely, strong and moralistic tale. The artwork was fresh and evocative as well.
Other titles I recommend are Crictor by Tomi Ungerer and also Moon Man by Tomi Ungerer. The McDuff series is also very fine and lovely (that made me want a dog also) Enjoy!

Summary: simply marvelous
Comment: haven kimmel is an extraordinary author of sublime and rare gifts; now she turns her hand to children's fiction/ as a mother who reads, i humbly submit that Orville is superior to what else is out there. in many cases, young children's books simplify emotions and stay pristine, surreal or silly. this one shines : the impressionistic yet spare illustrations and the bright, funny, often surprising story unfolds like a desert flower. lovely and worth purchasing in bulk so that the next time your child attends a birthday party, you're ready with a gift to cherish and be read time and again.
