So I had read most of this book and was getting near the end, and I was thinkig that the ending was going to be a nice,sweet, happy ending. But oh no. Honestly, I have no idea why he is allowed a dog. This child should NOT be responsible for a dog AT ALL. He's just a selfish, boring, boring character.

In 1951 Pearce spent a long period in hospital recovering from tuberculosis. She passed the time there thinking about a canoe trip she had taken many years before, which became the inspiration for her first book, Minnow on the Say, published in 1955 with illustrations by Edward Ardizzone. It was a commended runner-up for the annual Carnegie Medal. It was adapted for television in Canada as a 1960 TV series with the original title, and for British television in 1972 as Treasure over the Water. So Many Hearts!

I would have given it 3 stars if in the end he was crying about how happy he was because he finally had a dog. A Dog So Small is a dance between London and Cambridge; the story of a boy who quite simply wants a dog. He is desperate for a dog, in that way that we all have been desperate for something at some point in our lives, and he does, eventually, acquire a dog. It is a dog of imagination; something he sees in his mind, something - someone - that he makes happen and live; and this is both good and bad, really, in equal measure. Good, because it fills that desperate ache inside of him but bad, too, because of how it affects him. Sometimes the imaginary world is comfier, safer, than the real. ENGLISH: A book about a boy obsessed with having a dog, although he knows that a dog in London, in a house where seven people live, is a practically insoluble problem. The trouble is that his heated imagination leads him astray...
