PS
What opens as a minimal-vocabulary depiction of boy and dog ("This is Joey. This is the ball. This is Jet. 'Fetch!'") quickly segues into a lively tour of prepositions as Jet chases his quarry "among the birds, through the trees," and so on. Reader interest is held fast both by the perils of the pup's cheerful trajectory and by unusually handsome graphics.
