Darby's Story: The Life of an Adopted Dog Review: My Review of Darby's Story - When I received this book to review, I was immediately drawn towards this wonderful story about Darby, an adopted dog who finds his home with Martha Steward and her family. I was especially interested because my mom's boss trains guide dog puppies and brings them into work. So, often times when my mom comes home she will bring home wonderful and adorable stories of the dog at work (the latest one is named Ruffle, by the way!) And so being able to read a close account of the life of this particular dog was a joy to me. And I must tell you... Anytime a book makes me cry, it's a good sign. As another reviewer put it on desertcart.com, I felt like I was part of the family. I felt like I knew Darby and could reach inside the pages and pet him myself. And this definitely makes me want to go out and adopt a dog. It's considered a "gentle" chapter book and Martha does a wonderful job of showing Darby's personality in every heartwarming page about him. My only wish was for their to be more pictures. I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review Review: Wonderful story about how a dog is an extension of the family ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (6) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 0.09 x 8.5 inches | | Grade level | 1 - 2 | | ISBN-10 | 144902775X | | ISBN-13 | 978-1449027759 | | Item Weight | 3 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 36 pages | | Publication date | September 14, 2009 | | Publisher | Authorhouse | | Reading age | 6 - 8 years | ## Images ![Darby's Story: The Life of an Adopted Dog - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619D64kas6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Review of Darby's Story *by N***P on July 1, 2012* When I received this book to review, I was immediately drawn towards this wonderful story about Darby, an adopted dog who finds his home with Martha Steward and her family.
