(3) PS Illustrated by Ludwig Bemelmans. Bemelmans's brown-and-black crayon drawings work effectively in this story. Disgruntled dachshund Noodle finds digging for bones with his short front paws a trial. When the dog fairy says that she'll grant him a wish, Noodle asks the zoo animals what they consider to be the best body shape. In the end, Noodle asks to be "just exactly the size and shape I am right now."
