內容簡介

Dennis wants a dog. A BIG dog. There's just one problem: first, he has to write an essay about it.

Dennis and his cousin Mellie both want a dog, and they have very different ideas. Dennis wants a giant. Mellie wants tiny. Dennis wants a couch potato to watch TV with; Mellie wants a jogger. Mellie is too busy with dance and piano for a dog that needs grooming every day, and Dennis just wants a dog who will stay by his side.

Then his teacher, Mrs. Shirky, assigns an opinion essay: What is the best kind of dog for your family? And she says Dennis must use criteria. (Cry-tear-EE-uh. It makes him think of crying tears.) Criteria, it turns out, just means reasons.

So Dennis does what good writers do. He thinks before he writes. Big or little? How much exercise? Easy to train? A guard dog? Lots of grooming? Page by page, readers meet more than 20 popular dog breeds, from the Chihuahua to the Great Dane, as Dennis weighs each one against his reasons. Then he writes his essay, and kids get to read the finished opinion essay that earned an A. But will it convince Mom and Dad?

A Mentor Text for Opinion Writing

I WANT A DOG turns a favorite kid topic, getting a pet, into a model of the essay-writing process. It is a perfect mentor text for opinion writing and persuasive writing in grades 2 through 5, in the classroom or as a homeschool language arts supplement.

Kids learn how to write an essay without even noticing they are learning, because they are too busy rooting for Dennis to get his dog.

Book 1 of The Read and Write Series

Each book models a different kind of essay through a story kids love:
