Illustrated by
Linda Davick.
Two round-faced brown-skinned children take care of their dog Rosie. Each vignette ("Rosie Good and Bad," "Rosie Here and There," etc.) features chunky, colorful illustrations on white backgrounds. Through use of repetition and simple sentences, this book explores opposites and builds early literacy skills, but neither the stories nor the illustrations are particularly memorable.
