Bad Dog, Dodger!

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Adam Gustavson. "Sam wanted a dog," and after he demonstrates the requisite maturity, his parents bring home Dodger for Sam's ninth birthday. What follows is a rather predictable pattern of training, accepting lapses in obedience, and learning from mistakes--for Sam and Dodger both. The ordinary story is given warmth and individuality by the painterly illustrations, rich in texture and the colors of spring.
