(3) K-3 Illustrated by Adam Gustavson. After an old man dies, his dog--now a nothing-special stray--wanders the streets of Cody's neighborhood. But the pup is special to Cody, and with patience, he finally gets the creature to trust him. "Dogs find their way / inside you / and you want to keep them there," Cody muses. Emotion-filled oil illustrations complement the graceful, moving text.
