Jeff Chaucer just wants to get on with the rest of his life. But on a senior trip to DC, his teacher challenges each student to tell a story, and Jeff begins to recognize points of connection with his classmates. This modern-day takeoff on The Canterbury Tales with an appealingly diverse cast of characters offers a winning, often funny exploration of the art of storytelling.

Emily Arnold McCully.
As a puppy watches the animals working on the farm, he wonders how he, too, can be useful. He can't give eggs or milk or wool. When his boy comes home, however, he discovers he's very good at giving love. The story of finding one's place is told in uneven rhyme and accompanied by lively watercolors of an idealized farmyard.
