" a great readaloud with the 7 year old crowd. Haven't seen the movie yet. "

" what i learned from this book is that when you go somewhere you might not like it so you don't want to be judgemental. also i learned that if you start a dog hotel and your aunt is allergic to dogs you might want to make sure that your aunt doesn't get near any dogs in your hotel. "

" Dog lovers will enjoy this, especially the younger set. "

" Despite some issues the outdated female role portrayals, I actually really enjoyed this. The descriptions of dogs can't help but to win affection and the kids' feelings feel honest and real. Duncan does a good job of balancing male and female interest by having two main protagonists, one of each gender. However, while the book has been updated with the names of the characters in the movie, the gender stereotypes have not been changed. The girls do the cleaning and feeding housework while the boys go out and earn money. At one point, Andi/Liz even mentioned that she wants to practice for the day when she'll have her own kitchen while making excuses to do the dishes and gather dog scraps. It's unfortunately a bit of a turn off. Otherwise, the book would work well, appealing to lots of different students and possibly making some fun math connections, as the characters talk about paying for the things they need (bog food, bowls, brushes etc) and reimbursing for things taken or damaged. "

" I like this book because I like animal. So this book was special to me. I was glad to read this book. I thought many things by this book's main character, Andi. she loves animals too. I didn't imagine about hotel for dogs before I read this book. But If she have real hotel for dogs, I will want to go. "

" I liked the movie, but I liked the book better. "

" The kids in this book don't talk like kids; they talk like 60-year-old women. Or maybe this is how kids talked back before I was born, when the book was originally written. We'll never know. "
