A story of the intersecting lives of a homeless man and a pack of wild dogs in Brooklyn has a happy, if patently unrealistic, ending: everyone ends up fed and sheltered. Frost's expressive black-and-white line drawings lend themselves well to the subject and to the book's large format. The sketchy illustrations, better viewed from a distance, will work well in story hours.
