Smudge

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jane Chapman. While Smudge the dog is playing with Bounce the rabbit and Nibble the mouse in the yard, it begins to rain. Smudge runs to the house, but finds the door is shut. With the helping "paws" of his friends he finally gets inside where it is dry, only to find the sun has come out again. Though the text is not particularly riveting, the expressive gouache illustrations have appeal.
