(2) K-3 I Like to Read series. An amiable yellow dog (from Geisel Honor–winning See Me Run) joins dogs chasing a tennis ball through a park. But then a beaver's tail and a bird start the ball (and the dogs) on an outlandish journey; a humorous circular ending returns the dogs to the park. Limited vocabulary, repetition, and clear clues in the lively watercolor illustrations give new readers support while also keeping them enormously entertained.
