(3) K-3 Viking Easy-to-Read series. Illustrated by Rich Davis. Tiny, a light brown, slightly more petite version of Clifford the Big Red Dog, fit his name when he was a puppy, but now he's large enough to do things, both good and not so good, that he couldn't do when he was small. The affection between a boy and his pet comes through in a minimum of words and bright, spunky cartoon illustrations.
