Ruby and Grub

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sarah Warburton. Narrator Ruby complains about her dog and his messy, disobedient behavior, but readers will note she makes excuses for him at the same time: "I don't think he can hear me." Unsurprisingly, after Grub is exiled to Uncle Tom's house, the family realizes it just can't live without him. The pet-appreciation story is undistinguished, but energetic illustrations make the most of Grub's shenanigans.
