Then Mrs. Dimple tells Madeline Finn about animal shelters?a place many other pets come from. After a visit to their local shelter, Madeline Finn has some questions.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Madeline Finn returns in this second picture-book devoted to her reading adventures with her canine friends, following upon Madeline Finn and the Library Dog. After much pleading, her mother allows her to adopt one of Bonnie's puppies, whose arrival was the concluding episode of the previous book. But when Madeline Finn learns from her librarian, Mrs. Dimple, that she and Bonnie volunteer at the local shelter, and she and her mother also decide to volunteer, she is distressed to discover that many of the animals there do not have the love, companionship and reading partners that Bonnie and Star enjoy. Thinking over matters, Madeline Finn comes up with a solution, organizing a reading day at the shelter...Like its predecessor, Madeline Finn and the Shelter Dog pairs an engaging and ultimately heartwarming story with adorable illustrations. Lisa Papp's artwork is lovely, and I just wanted to reach into the book on more than one occasion, and cuddle one of the animals. Star is cute as a button, and so is Madeline Finn, with her earnest desire to see that all of the animals have the love and attention that they need. We've had reading dog events at work, and it's always wonderful to see the children interacting with the pups, and having fun reading to them, so I appreciate the theme of these two Madeline Finn stories. I also appreciated, with this one, that shelter animals are featured, as they too have so much to give! Recommended to young dog lovers, children just getting going with their reading, and anyone who read and enjoyed the first Madeline Finn book.
