(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mike Lester. The tale begins with a flea-flustered stray dog and ends with a friendship. The action/reaction rhyming scenario follows the itchy pup who lands "THUD! 'OH CRUD!'" on a man who later notices, "Now I see. / A bite from a flea made you land on me." Energetic sketchlike cartoons capture the story's frenetic itch and the bumbling--yet ultimately satisfying--mess that ensues.
Reviewer: Carrie Harasimowicz Sullivan
