(3) K-3 An unlikely friendship develops between cantankerous Mr. Raisin, who only enjoys sewing, and Floaty, a gravity-immune dog left on his doorstep in a covered basket (with a note: "Too much trouble!"). When the leash snaps during a walk and the pup floats away, Mr. Raisin eventually sews a hot-air balloon and rescues Floaty. Funny digital illustrations make the most of the heartwarming story's outlandish premise.
