When Sally's pet Scoot, a dog, chases a red balloon into the "big wide world," he enjoys his first taste of freedom, but is soon eager to return home. Boxall uses a few well-placed lines--a gleeful grin, perky ears, a raised tail--to depict a canine character who preschoolers can easily appreciate. The simple, sweet tale perfectly captures the bond between child and pet.
