Hank and Fergus

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Louise-Andre Laliberte. Hank's imaginary dog Fergus is so real to him that when Cooper moves next door, Hank rebuffs him, particularly when he challenges Fergus's existence. The boys exchange barbs until one day they exchange gifts and, predictably, become friends. Cartoon-style art in pastel colors, though somewhat repetitive, is especially effective at picturing the shifting, shadowy appearance of the imaginary dog.
