Illustrated by
Philippe Goossens.
In this third tale starring sensitive dog Sam, his mom makes him befriend Ellie, a girl (cat). After Ellie confides that her parents might get a divorce, Sam realizes that girls can be as tough as boys. As in the previous Sam books, the lesson is learned too easily, but the front-and-center emotions are enhanced by appealing oils in cloudy, mood-tailored hues.
