This riff on a familiar nursery rhyme tells of dog Rufus's surprise visit to his boy's preschool. There's a "hullabaloo" because "dogs aren't allowed," but the smiles on the kids' faces telegraph that it's a welcome one. Murray's energetic digital illustrations, on thick oversize pages, add context to her cheery story. Use this as a friendly introduction to what a school day looks like.
