Illustrated by
June Otani.
From waking to bedtime, a cycle of brief poems follows a busy little golden brown mop of a dog through the day. The poems are voiced by the dog's constant companion, a self-possessed little girl, and the language is simple and concrete enough for the youngest listeners. Otani's pen and watercolor illustrations make a fine complement to the verse, characterizing the pair as curious and alert as well as affectionate.
