Illustrated by
Ethan Long.
Dogs Miles and Spike embark on a hike in the woods, carelessly cutting down trees, picking flowers, and gathering provisions as they toss out cavalier goodbyes ("Stay loose, Moose!") to the (very perturbed) animals. The friends finally realize their errors and set out to make things right. This story, told entirely in simple rhyming dialogue and giggle-worthy cartoons, treads lightly with its eco-message about, well, treading lightly.
