Listen is one of my favorite books that I have ever read in my entire life! I really loved Coyote and Sadie, because I love dogs and the woods and taking pictures of the woods and I think that this book was so good that everyone should read it! It is the best book that I have ever read!
Listen is one of my favorite books.i loved Sadie because she was so energetic that she reminded me of my dog Sally.
When I read "Listen" it touched my heart!!! What Charly did for Coyote was great! Right now my vote's for "Listen"!
I really like listen because it reminds me of this orange cat that comes to are house but we don’t no who’s cat it is. I thought it was a very well written book.
i loved this book and thought it was beautifully written. everyone that loves exciting friendship stories should read this book.
I liked this book. It was the best book I have read this year! I would recommened this book.
Chris A from Berlin says:This book was very good. I wish it was a bit more exciting. But i would recommened this to people who enjoy stories about pets.
this was a great story about a girl who finds a dog on the street and she wants to keep it.so she does and then she looses it but then she finds it and trains it and the girl was very happy. It was an ok book. BYE
This is 1 of the best books i read this year!
