PICTURE BOOKS
(4) K-3 A gentle dog named Piper runs away from his cruel master. After making his way to the city, Piper saves a woman from being hit by a car, and she subsequently adopts him. The subdued watercolor and crayon illustrations are an appropriate accompaniment to this sentimental, melancholy (until the end, when the woman assures: "Now we can both look after each other") story.
