Daniel Pinkwater has been creating amazing stories for a very long time. In this hilarious little book, Jules wins a collie by writing a letter and it leads her to amazing adventures with a rooster, a witch, and other amusing characters. The family is warm and real, and Jules reminds them that they've been promising her a dog for a long time. Penny and Jules immediately bond, and hopefully they will continue to have interesting adventures.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this.

The odd phrasing and cadence of Daniel Pinkwater’s writing throughout this story made it a quick, enjoyable, and witty read. What begins as predictable and familiar, steadily turns to surprising and magical.
Cute story.
