(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Amy June Bates. William's father leaves; his mother is about to have a baby; and his little sister Elinor is talking with the family's new pets--four dogs and a cat. Soon William starts hearing the animals, too, and when his father returns, the pets help keep the family together. Emotions ring true in this poignant story about family dynamics.
