(4) K-3 Chester runs away when his family becomes too busy to play with him. In the predictable tale, the lonely canine finds that, after he experiences the forest, the city, and the pampered life, home is where he belongs. The subdued, almost-surreal illustrations, which depict Chester's journey and his return to his newly attentive family, feature lots of unexpected perspectives.
