Publisher's summary

The classic heartwarming tale from Kate DiCamillo - now with an afterword from the beloved author, reflecting on 20 years in print

One summer's day, 10-year-old India Opal Buloni goes down to the local supermarket for some groceries - and comes home with a dog. But Winn-Dixie is no ordinary dog. It's because of Winn-Dixie that Opal begins to make friends. And it's because of Winn-Dixie that she finally dares to ask her father about her mother, who left when Opal was three. In fact, as Opal admits, just about everything that happens that summer is because of Winn-Dixie.

This updated edition of Kate DiCamillo's classic novel invites listeners to make themselves at home - whether they're experiencing the book for the first time or returning to an old favorite.

Delight for the Heart

I’ve loved this book since the beginning and just now had the opportunity to listen to it with my 7-year-old daughter. It provides laughs and thoughtful questions and I love it’s tender storyline. Thank you!

A must read!

May we all take a minute and realize we are who we are because that’s the way God made us. He also made us capable of change and doing better. Just because we know better, does not mean we always do better? Another great book the Pecan Man said at the end. When we learn different we do different . Better is a matter of perspective!

Loved Windixie

This is an overall great book for anyone. My children read this for their third grade class and I felt it was a great book for their personal library. I bought the kindle version as well as this Audible version.

Great BUT….

I really enjoyed it but the author at the end saying she had to change the book that India read to Gloria. People need to stop being so sensitive…

Wonderful story

My 9 year old granddaughter is reading this for school. I bought it for us to listen too in the car. Great story, wonderful narrators. They added depth to characters and made it a compelling listen. I like it enough to listen several times on my own. The forward and post notes are on point. Highly recommend. Would be good for any kid struggling to belong.

Great for students

My 4th grader was reading for school and enjoyed listening this way as she read along. The narration really brought the story to life for her a lot more.
