(4) K-3 Illustrated by Anna Pignataro. When a fire engulfs an animal shelter, a timid dog, nicknamed "Unknown" because no one knows anything about her, digs out and alerts the caretaker. Although it is unrealistic that a dog could dig out of a concrete and chain-link cage, the theme of overcoming one's fears is satisfying. Loose watercolors show the variety of dogs at the shelter.
