INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Salisbury, Graham

Dog Heaven

(3) 4-6 Calvin Coconut series. Illustrated by Jacqueline Rogers. Fourth grader Calvin must write an essay on the subject "What I Want So Badly I Can Taste It." What Calvin wants is a dog, but sixteen-year-old houseguest Stella, allergic to cats, insists she's allergic to dogs, too. Salisbury's Hawaiian setting and characters gain depth and interest with each series entry; Rogers's illustrations match the lighthearted but heartfelt tone of the engaging text.
