Tupelo Rides the Rails

32 pp. | Houghton | April, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-618-71714-9 $17.00
(4) K-3 Little dog Tupelo and her sock toy are abandoned one day. In their search for somewhere to belong, they encounter a group of dogs who pray to the star Sirius for a home--but a sacrifice is required. The many story elements can be hard to follow, but watercolor and mixed-media illustrations, full of motion and emotion, help bring them together.
