I timed myself when I read Saving Winslow. It took me one hour to read this book! It was truly fun, fast and easy! Louie, the main character, agrees to take care of a sickly newborn mini donkey and is optimistic in the donkey's survival despite his previous track record with pet survival. His determination, love and care is admirable. A friend named Nora knows it is risky to love because of her own losses but connects in her friendship with Louie. I posted a picture of Winslow Homer's "Weaning a Calf" painting in the above graphic because this picture plays a part in the name of the mini donkey and connections to Louie. This book would be a great read aloud, book club, or just a quick read for busy kids and teachers. It is heartwarming, funny, inspirational and winning animal story. I rate it a 4 out of 4!
