Useless and brief story.

Basically just the first day of dog ownership, and you know those kids are going to start slacking off and avoiding their dog-related chores the same way they avoid all their other chores.

Puppies are a lot of work.

Nope, apparently there's no such thing as "too much car trip."

I was really expecting it to be about Mama and Papa bear realizing that sometimes pushing everybody to do too many things on a long car trip is a bad idea, but no.

Car trips are fun.

The Big Question deserves a better answer.

This is like answering the question of “Who's Grandpa Smith?” by saying, “I'm really glad we have nice silverware.”

God made everything.

When Will This Book Be Over?

An odd way of thinking about things, and also really long and boring, especially for such a brief story.

Message

Everything is yours as much as you need it to be. Or maybe, don't take more of nature than you need? But it doesn't really say that. Maybe there is no message. It's complicated, like the relationship status on Facebook.

No pigeons. I feel cheated.

So it's a really long, meandering story that doesn't go anywhere.

Message

None. Just descriptive.

Not as interesting as it sounds.

Takes a long time to get to its point. The point is weird. It's not a bad message; it's just a weird message.

Message

Only special people can keep wild animals as pets.

Contrived story, ends before it gets realistic.

Two separate people have loved each other from a distance and never actually had a conversation, but they're in love. Hopefully it works out at the end. It doesn't really say.

Message

If you love somebody, tell them.
