(1) 1-3 Illustrated by Elsa Myotte. Berta the dachshund lives with nine-year-old Marjory and her parents on their hobby farm. Told from Marjory's inquisitive, matter-of-fact viewpoint, and never resorting to anthropomorphism, the chapter book follows Berta as she helps the family care for a newborn lamb rejected by its mother. Grainy pencil drawings capture the purposefulness in Berta's expression as she nurtures her fleecy charge and, months later, a litter of her own.
