(4) K-3 Illustrated by Tom Goldsmith. "Ben was short. Zip was shorter." While strolling on the boardwalk, young Ben loses Zip. Readers follow the search for what they assume is a child, but there's a well-played surprise at book's end: Zip is a dog. The somewhat ungainly illustrations show the world through Ben's eyes, which means that one spread is devoted to knees, another to bellies.
