Jack the dog hides things in closets--from Jenny's boot to the baby's diaper. Each time a lost item is recovered, however, Jack runs off with it again ("No, no, Jack! / Take it back! / Dogs don't wear diapers"). Finally, he hides a stray kitten that he's permitted to keep. The premise is thin, but the book will be enjoyed for its playful acrylic artwork and closet-door flaps that reveal what's hidden.
