Nothing but a Dog

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jane Manning. A girl describes how nothing can derail the yen for a dog--"Not learning to play the trumpet, / Or being vice president of the Tree Climbers Club," etc. The meditation is lovingly particular and particularly loving, and Manning's illustrations capture both qualities. When the girl's parents give her a dog at book's end, readers will celebrate too.
