Write Up Regarding Books Waiting for the Magic

I'm not a fan of talking animals (even in the cute way it was presented in this book) so I didn't really enjoy this book. But MacLachlan has a style that is like a warm blanket. It is comforting.

I'm not much of an animal lover (despite having 2 dogs) but I find it odd I've recently read this title and Ask Bob and both were satisfying reads and I enjoyed both for guiding the reader to a place of happiness for the characters.

I realize that this is a children's book, and I was hooked at the start. I read, experienced the "magic" that animals bring to a family, broken when papa leaves for a while. I continued to read, as mom discovers a secret that leads to his return, and the family begins to mend and heal. But I still felt like I was waiting, even as the book ended, for the plot to reach a climax. It never really happened, and I don't feel like the main character, William, really resolved his conflict with his

Honestly, I'm still not sure what I think about this one. It's cute, it's sweet, it's funny, it's...odd. I'll just say it: It has talking doggies. Telepathically talking doggies. William and Elinor's father just left. Again. Only this time was different. This time, he didn't slam the door on his way out. This time, he closed the door slowly, with just a >click<. This was significant to William (he's a smart boy). Their mother is so upset that she loads the kids in the car, drives straight

SPOILER!!! First i would like to point out that this book is super cute especially if you like or believe in magic yourself. In waiting for the magic, There are two kids, William and Elinor and their father leaves them to their mother. Their mother then decides that bringing home a cat and four dogs will help the children feel better. These animals are unique in a way because they are able to communicate with people telepathically if they believe in magic but William doesnt believe in magic.

I adore Patricia MacLachlan's writing ever since Sarah, Plain and Tall. This story is just magical with its set of pets that bring wholeness to this family. Just perfect for Grades 1-4.

This was an incredibly sweet and satisfying story about how four dogs and a cat brought a family back together. The writing is excellent, and the characters- including the dogs all have distinct personalities. It made me laugh and it made me cry- not from sadness, but because I was moved by the story. It's an absolutely worthwile read for those who are slightly too young to appreciate Spinelli or Laurel Snyder, but the same amount of magic.
