What appears to be a folktale retelling turns into a story hour gone amok after terrier Ivan bursts onto the scene. An unseen storyteller cries, "You naughty dog!" and starts over with a different story. Readers will enjoy pointing out signs of Ivan's imminent arrival. Finally, the storytelling focus turns to the terrier, but it's too late: Ivan's all pooped out.
