(2) PS Bertie is content with his "pretend blue dog" until the day he gets a real dog--a tiny, black-spotted dog--perfect, but not blue. No problem: Bertie names the dog Blue. The point that make-believe can be satisfying even though reality may turn out to be even better is gently made. Winsome Bertie recalls the simply drafted children in very early Sendak.
