My kids and I have read this book many times and I love it every time. DiCamillo does an excellent job of capturing the young voice of India Opal, and who couldn't fall in love with this mess of a dog? I especially appreciated the author's honesty in dealing with Opal's absent and alcoholic mother, as well as a father who has trouble communicating with his daughter. Opal bonds with the dog in a way that is believable and touching. And characters like Gloria Dump, Otis, and the Dewberry boys are all so well drawn.
Loved it!

I really loved this book. I really like the main character, Opal, and how she loved her dog. I love how Opal and her dog make a family by becoming friends with people in her town. I can relate to Opal and her friendship with her dog because that's how I feel about my dog.

This book is about a girl, a homeless dog, a preacher, a new city, and new friends. This book is full of adventures and good times. You will meet new people, meet a dog with a funny smile, a girl with a great personality, a preacher with a haunting past, a new city that is small, and friends that are weird and strange, but fun and loving. They bond together to become one great friend/family. They come to learn and love each other.
They build a church, they make friends, they have a party, they bond together when Winn-Dixie goes missing. They find him and have a good party.

Because of Winn-Dixie is a fabulous book! The relationship between Opal and her best friend/dog, Winn-Dixie, is really at the heart of the book. Because she just moved to town with her dad, who is a minister, Opal is very lonely and seeks refuge in the wild but good-hearted Winn-Dixie. Through their adventures (and misadventures) together, we really get to know and love these characters and dislike some of the others.
I recommend this book to ANYONE! Teachers, kids, parents, this book is great. (Much better than the movie, too!!)

This is such a heart-warming and funny story about a little girl who has to overcome some feelings of lost due to her mother's absence. The characters she meets are loving and wonderful, as well as, interesting and funny. When the story ends you have a sense of peace for the main character and you will long remember this story.

I read this and loved it! It was a great book because, it told of a friendship between a girl and her friends not only human friends but also her friend who happened to be a dog, Winn-Dixie.
If you love dogs then you'll definately LOVE this smileing dog!

I first read this book like when i was six or seven and I found it very heartwarming and it was also understandable. I still like reading books like this nd I believe the character of Inida opal Buloni, or however you spell it, is very amazing. By the way, i wonder how she got a name like that? Maybe it is in the book, i read it a long time ago. So anyways, I would recommend this book to others and i also want to recommend a book called ELLA ENCHANTED, check it out yourself.

I like this author. She seems to be able to connect well with her audience. Her books are simply made to read aloud with her vibrant characters and quick plots. Because of Winn Dixie is no exception to this. I think this book especially connects the reader into the life of a lonely girl who has been abandoned by her mother and has moved to a new town. The story is touching, and the movie wasn't a bad adaptation of the book either.
