The story begins with a dog named Old Blue, who has lost his home, leaving him alone, hungry, and tired. After finding a barnyard, Old Blue enters and asks the farm animals for food and shelter. The farm animals are in doubt of Old Blue’s intentions, scared that he will turn wild and attack them, or that they will get in trouble with their owner if they let him stay with them. Do the farm animals take the risk and accept Old Blue, or do they shut him out? How does their choice affect their future?
In my opinion, this book is a faultless children’s story. More precisely, the wonderful illustrations add meaning to the book, helping young readers follow along in the story. Moreover, the story has been professionally edited, as I did not find even one typographical, grammatical, or spelling error in the entire tale. Additionally, the book is easy to comprehend, while young readers will enjoy the story’s plot and the themes developed by the author. Furthermore, the quality of the book is increased by the fact that the author has attached guidelines to adults about how to read the book to young children, while the inclusion of activities for children increases the young reader’s interest in the story. Besides this, what I liked most about this book was the themes and moral truths passed by the author about the welcoming of strangers, and the importance of inclusion of immigrants, or refugees. As a result, I had no attribute that I disliked most since the book has been exceptionally written.
I believe that readers of a younger age are more likely to enjoy this book. More analytically, this book has been written for children that are younger than adolescence, however, adults may enjoy reading this book along with their children. All in all, this book is rich in themes and meaning, so it can be enjoyed by any reader.
Selectively, I rate this book with 4 out of 4 stars. The reason for not giving this book any lower rating was the fact that it was faultless, as it was professionally edited, excellently written, and fit for a young-aged audience. Therefore, the author has successfully achieved her goal of discussing the importance of welcoming strangers in a manner understood by young children.
