Boomer's Big Surprise

32 pp. | Chronicle | April, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-8118-1977-9 $$14.95
(4) PS Illustrated by Mary Whyte. When his family brings home a new puppy, Boomer feels replaced as top dog, until he discovers Baby is less a rival than a new playmate. The expressive watercolor illustrations capture Boomer's range of emotions, from curiosity to dejection to jubilant acceptance. Young children facing the arrival of a new sibling will identify with and appreciate this gentle, if predictable, story.
