Illustrated by
Ged Adamson.
A dog reminisces about when Mommy cuddled, groomed, and solely focused on only him. Expressive pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations endearingly capture the pooch's displeasure as the family dynamic shifts when Daddy...and then Baby...enter the picture. This humorous take on changing families concludes with the now-satisfied baby-training pup's egocentric realization: "NOW I know why Mommy and Daddy got Baby. / They got Baby...for me!"
