Mary and the Mystery Dog

(3) 1-3 Translated by J. Alison James. Illustrated by Kirsten Hocker. Mary's vacation at the beach starts off poorly because the cold weather keeps her parents inside and she has to play alone. But she spends the day with a friendly dog, and her reports of fun convince her parents to come and join her on the beach. Sketchy watercolors on every spread suit the breezy, light text. Subject, format, and art work together to make this a fine story for emerging readers.
