Ira (human) and Malcolm (anthropomorphic dog) are good friends. But when Malcolm gets all the credit for inventing the game of tag, Ira's feelings are hurt. Eventually, the friends figure out together that sadness is more tolerable with company. An emotionally genuine picture book made eye-catching and entertaining with bold colors, plenty of silliness, and cartoon elements such as speech bubbles.
