Shaggy Dog and the Terrible Itch

32 pp. | Barron's | September, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-7641-5391-9 $$12.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Gwyneth Williamson. Poor Shaggy Dog. His back itches and itches. After helping his neighbors, he receives a good back-scratching in return, but the itch comes back. Finally Mary Lou at the Poodle Parlor gives him a soothing bath, and he feels better. The story is slight, but the cartoon illustrations are playful, showing the cause of Shaggy Dog's itch as it jumps off him and onto a haughty poodle.
