(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jennifer K. Mann. Percy's dog-park romp with his friends is interrupted by a face-off with a squirrel. Young readers will recognize and enjoy these familiar dog antics, though they may be puzzled by the title, which matches the text's tone but has little connection to the story line. Mann's illustrations, heavy on white space, are the perfect complement to the spare but effective text.
