(4) K-3 Illustrated by Pascal Lemaitre. A pet dog expresses his devotion to the girl who owns him by enumerating the ways he would protect her--from deflecting a meteor with a baseball bat to calming the sea with a raised paw. The unembellished cartoon drawings enjoy plenty of white space, which emphasize the hero's pluck and helps tone down the text's sentimentality.
