(3) K-3 Illustrated by E. B. Lewis. This tender story, sensitively illustrated by Lewis's luminous watercolors, is based on the true story of a rescued dog. Trouper himself narrates in free verse, telling of his life on the street and his desolate days and nights in the pound until he's adopted by a gentle boy who is as "skinny as a string bean." It's all quite heartwarming.
