Illustrated by
Blanche Sims.
The opening sentence of this trio of stories--"George took Diggety to dog school"--sounds innocent enough. But readers familiar with the series know that this indomitable pair will somehow turn obedience training into a lesson in noncompliance. As usual, Sims's delicate black line barely contains the characters' enthusiasm and reinforces the light tone of the text.
