(2) K-3 Illustrated by Lynn Johnston. After a morningtime bath, Farley, lovable sheepdog from For Better or For Worse comics, spends his day sniffing the breeze and following its smells. Finally, he winds up back home (in need of another bath), but not before rescuing a little boy lost. Onomatopoeia on most pages and exuberant and funny cartoon illustrations make this a good book to use with groups.
