Desert Dog

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Robert Weatherford. "I am a desert dog, a desert dog. / I work from sun to sun," says a goat-herding dog in a sometimes rhyming, sometimes free verse poem that paints a word picture of his life in the southwest with his boy. The expressionistic paintings in strong red and tan desert colors are more intense and lively than the text itself.
