I found this book by literally crawling around on the floor of one of my favorite local bookstores. The title caught my attention and the front picture did me in. The Puppy Sister is an adorable read and very light-hearted. The story's easy to follow and the illustrations add the right touch to the story. The reading itself feels like it's somewhat for the younger set, but then again it's told from the point of veiw of an Aussie puppy.
For anybody who loves animals, I definatly suggest this book! It even serves as a good read-aloud book too!
If you happen to be a furre, you'll eat it up! :3

I read this book as a bedtime story to my son & I thought he'd never stop laughing & fall asleep! If you've never understood how a dog thinks, particularly an Australian Shepherd, this book is a must! I personally loved the description of how Aleasha (the puppy) couldn't stop herself from chewing things because her teeth just "itched" so badly! GREAT!!! I never thought of it that way! I raise Australian Shepherds & am going to be ordering a pile of these to go to my puppy's homes that have children.

I very first read this book when i was 7 or 6 and throughly enjoyed it. Though when I read it very recently, I still found it good, but confusing at parts gramatically with the wording. It's about Nick, a boy who's always wanted a sister, and Aleasha, an aussie puppy who wants to be a girl. Overall, it was a pretty good book and I recommend it to people who enjoy a short, sweet story.

I have always loved reading, but when my very first grade teacher gave me this book when i was six, I read a little of it, then put it down. It wasn't until six years later, I was browsing my book shelves filled with my childhood books that I found this book again. It was a school morning, but I picked it up anyways and started reading it. I couldn't put it down! Sure, it wasn't my reading level, but it was a sweet book, written in a way that makes you want to know what happens next. It's about a little boy named Nick who gets an Aussie puppy named Aleasha instead of his wish-a sister. Aleasha wants Nick to play with her like he would a real little girl, but he doesn't. So she comes up with a plan. She will turn into a human. What happens next? Read the book to find out, or read another review that theaches you more about it. Whatever!! But it's a really sweet book.

The Puppy Sister is a fantasy to be enjoyed by young or the young at heart. Alesha, a Aussie puppy doesn't understand why Nick (her owner)doesn't treat her like a person. Then, as she realizes that she isn't human, she decides that she can become a human. A true masterpice!
