(2) K-3 Viking Easy-to-Read series. Illustrated by Rich Davis. A boy tells of his large dog, Tiny, who is dirty and needs a bath. In this book for the least sophisticated beginning readers, each sentence appears on a single line, and only one sentence appears on a page. Illustrations mirror text, providing clues that support readers as they decipher both words and events. Add Tiny to the roll call of great dogs in children's literature. He may just wind up being a young reader's best friend.
