Illustrated by
Brian Biggs.
Charlie hates school and wishes on a star to change places with his dog, Norman. After a week of canine life, Charlie decides it's not for him. The crux of this amusing tale is that Charlie and Norman never actually trade bodies; Biggs's illustrations, featuring simple shapes with bold black outlines, offer comical views of a boy behaving like a dog, and vice versa.
