This book was great ! There was a dog who was greedy and saw a bone. He lost his bone because of his greed. I will recommend this book.

This book teaches you not to be greedy but it made me feel sad because the dog didn’t have any food anymore.

If I was in the book I would be the dogs reflection I just close my eyes and picked any book when I checked it I knew it was my own level and any book is nice. But I only like that book if I have that taste or I like it. Yes I would recommend this book to somebody else if they like dogs or if they like meat or anyone it's basically just to read and have like a good taste of their own books.

I like the greedy dog because when he saw his reflection he barked and scared , my dog does that too. He dropped his bone, i like dogs.
