24 pp. | Candlewick | November, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-8097-8 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Andrew McLean. Fenton shares a fascinating true story about spunky pup Bob, adopted in the 1880s by an Australian railway guard and allowed to train-hop. Bob the Railway Dog became famous and continued to independently ride the rails the rest of his life. The watercolor, charcoal, and pencil illustrations match and extend the story's action and light mood. A short author's note is appended.
