(3) K-3 Illustrated by Sarah Garland. Although the family is dismayed when their dog chases seagulls, tangles with other dogs, and messes up his freshly coifed coat, they are thrilled when he rescues their toddler from drowning. "Look at him walking there--docile and dutiful, / Draggling and dripping...but utterly beautiful." The lively illustrations expand the text, which often uses clever or unexpected rhymes.
