That Dog!

24 pp. | Tiger Tales | March, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58925-137-3 $15.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Cally Johnson-Isaacs. "The mean, miserable Jones family" ignores and mistreats their eager-to-please dog, so he strikes out on his own, working odd jobs, helping people, even competing on a TV talent show. Soon everyone--including the Joneses--realizes "That dog was AMAZING!" The dog's series of increasingly fantastic feats (firefighting! helicopter-piloting!) and the friendly mixed-media illustrations help to soften the clunky, message-heavy text.
