(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Herm Auch & Herm Auch. A talking dog named Arful must help watch over the beloved (and overrated) class pet--an obnoxious chicken--that his young owner has brought home during Christmas vacation. But the chicken has ideas of her own. Though the plot is slim and the human characters are flat, Arful is sympathetic, adding his humorous observations to this quick read. The story is illustrated with simple black-and-white spot art.
