Papp (My Mom’s Wedding) bases this story of a reluctant reader around the real-life use of therapy dogs that serve as a quiet and nonjudgmental audience for those working on becoming more confident readers. Madeline Finn isn’t afraid to let people know that she doesn’t like to read—“Not books. Not magazines. Not even the menu on the ice cream truck”—but she’s also ready to start earning star stickers from her teacher, instead of heart-shaped “Keep Trying” stickers. Papp’s sensitively drafted illustrations do an excellent job of capturing her heroine’s emotions. Frustrated as she tries to read at home, Madeline stares glumly at the books spread out before her, her hands shoved into her reddened cheeks as her mother looks on worriedly; later, reading to a fluffy white dog named Bonnie at the library, Madeline’s body language relaxes noticeably (“It’s fun to read when you’re not afraid of making mistakes”). It’s a warm, encouraging story that suggests that perfection isn’t necessary in order to achieve one’s goals, and that help can be found in unexpected corners. Ages 4–8.
Narrator Jill Frutkin is gentle of voice and unhurried of pace. She has the believable voice of a girl who is struggling with her reading abilities and who is mortified by the ridicule she receives in her classroom. In fact, Frutkin becomes quieter as the story unfolds until the moment Madeline meets Bonnie, the polar bear-like dog at the library who is available for listening to young readers. Volume and conviction creep into Madeline's voice as she reads to Bonnie, an ever-patient paws-in-her-lap companion. Madeline's final exclamation following a day of reading to her class is loud and joyful. (And listeners will delight in the surprise that Bonnie has for her young friend.)
