(2) K-3 Illustrated by Anne Wilsdorf. Lula Mae wants a dog, but her hardscrabble farming parents say no. In an innovative workaround, she not only designates a chicken as her pet dog but sets out to show Pookie's worthiness for the role. Pookie and the other chickens, with their personalities and anarchic demented energy, steal the show in Wilsdorf's illustrations. This is a lively celebration of making-do.
