Ginger Pye, by Eleanor Estes


Jerry Pye wants a dog more than anything, all he needs is a $1, because in the 1950s, that is all it cost to get a dog. So begins the story of the Pyes and their new dog Ginger, who could possibly be the smartest, most lovable dog in Cranbury, Connecticutt. But, beware of the the "unsavory" person with the yellow hat, who Jerry, and sister Rachel are convinced is out to steal Ginger Pye. 
When their fears come to fruition, Jerry, Rachel and the whole town of Cranbury are out to find Ginger Pye. 

This timeless tale is filled with love, humor and hyjinx as the Pye family become dog owners, and Ginger becomes part of the family. Filled with great vocabulary, beautiful writing, and a dear family story line that would appeal to all readers, Ginger Pye is a great read for the whole family.
