Skinny Brown Dog

32 pp. | Holt | June, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-7587-8 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Donald Saaf. Although polar bear Benny tries to shoo a stray dog away from his bakery, the nattily dressed pooch hangs around. When Benny falls and breaks his leg, the dog pulls a Lassie, and the baker is finally won over. While the story's logic fails in places, the mixed-media paintings, in nicely varied design, feature an eminently likable doggy hero.
