K-3I Like to Read series.
A dog waits at home by looking outside at a series of animals through a sliding-glass door. Finally, the dog's boy arrives and the dog is free to chase the one animal he's repeatedly barked at: a squirrel. Each double-page spread contains at most one sentence, a boon to new readers. Expressive watercolor, acrylic, and pencil illustrations amusingly capture the dog's alternating boredom and excitement.
