(2) K-3 Illustrated by Ard Hoyt. George, an old bloodhound, is one satisfied dog. When a yappy stray joins the family, though, George's place is unsure. But when Zippity's skittish side gets stirred up during a thunderstorm, George comes to the rescue. Hoyt's watercolor-and-pencil illustrations detail every canine emotion, and each spread brims with energy. Satisfying sound play will make this tale a hit as a read-aloud.
