(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ashley Spires. Even though his mom says they're lots of work, Dog wants a boy. As he searches for the perfect one, he ends up in the pound, where the perfect boy finds him. Retro 1950s-style illustrations in ink, watercolor, and digital collage add humor to this clever twist on the familiar boy-wants-dog tale, but the role reversal leads to some plot inconsistencies.
