Roberta's Vacation

(4) K-3 Translated by Laura McKenna. A dog named Roberta becomes bored while visiting her grandparents and sneaks off to the beach on her own. En route she encounters Jerome, a fearsome dog, but a friendship is born when she saves him from drowning. The drawings of chubby Roberta and crocodile-toothed Jerome are humorous accompaniments for the awkwardly worded but appealing French import.
