(4) K-3 Illustrated by David Opie. With Rosana Panza. When hundreds of runners pass his home, Dozer, a goldendoodle, decides to find out what they're all chasing. On and on he runs until at last he, like the other half-marathon runners, reaches the finish line. The entertaining but somewhat long story, told from Dozer's point of view, is accompanied by static, muted illustrations. An author's note about the real Dozer is included.
