Illustrated by
Bernice Lum.
While trying to bury her bone, Pippin the dog uncovers an entire mastodon skeleton, which the museum people are happy to acquire--but they take Pippin's bone too, by mistake. Though she's acclaimed for her find, Pippin is dejected until the museum finally returns her bone. Lum's simple cartoon-style drawings give Pippin an amusing personality, and the story's exaggerations will provide some smiles as well.
