I've read so many views of this book. I do think this was one of the better versions!

This book was written in 1985. The characters become well known throughout the book. The audience can feel the sadness and fear the characters have to endure.

This book was written in 2011. The theme in this book could vary due to perception. There are only illustrations and this causes your imagination to wander. This book looks like it was painted with water colors and pastels due to the thickness of the dogs and the mixing of colors. The pages change from bright to light due to the change of mood.
