(4) K-3 Illustrated by Stephanie Ford. A woman wants to take a walk with her new guide dog, Nadine, but Nadine wants to play games. However, on the walk, when a severe snowstorm comes up, Nadine is all work. Although the large-format illustrations are awkward and static, sense words in the lilting first-person text convey the blind woman's experience, while flashbacks to training give information about the dog/human partnership.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
