melodyshobe's review against another edition
5.0
I adore Kate DiCamillo. Her characters are both lovable and believable. Her stories have difficulty and have heart. Her writing is prose and it is poetry. Her book are fiction and yet they are so, so TRUE. Though I’ve read all of her other books, I never read this one, as my girls both read it at school so we didn’t do it at home as a read aloud. I had been saving it, a bit, knowing that after this I will have read all her (currently in existence) books. But I needed this story of Winn-Dixie this week, and I’m so glad I finally read it. Now Kate will just have to write more, so I can keep on reading her.

Who names a dog after a grocery store? "Oh, hey guys, this is my dog Walmart... he's not very bright." No! Don't do it! Run away!
Overlooking the girls horrible naming skills this book isn't bad by any means. Read it, and you'll be happy you did.

I don't think I read this as a child so even without nostalgia it was still really good. Dog characters don't usually do it for me, but the other cast of characters were awesome. I wish Sean Baker would direct a movie adaptation of this.

One of the only books I come back to. I love to read this one to my kids. It’s a beautiful book that’s perfect to me.

I picked this book up in my sixth grade English class, and while I can't remember too much (the things I remember is only because of the movie), I think I actually really enjoyed this book. It was during the time my interest in books piqued and I was drawn into reading animal-related books. Because of Winn-Dixie was a nice book in my early memory.

I need something to brighten my soul after Girls Burn Brighter and this was the ticket!
I had read this book as a child and loved it SO much I named my first dog Dixie. Reading it 20+ years later brought so much joy. I can see how I related to India Opal. A fun quick read- the audiobook is done well too. Worth checking out for a drive with kids!

Similar story line to "The Secret Life of Bees" but certainly not as depressing.
