Murphy Meets the Treadmill

32 pp. | Houghton/Lorraine | September, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-618-11357-6 $$15.00
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Emily Bolam. Murphy, a yellow lab, loves to lie on the porch and eat treats, but one day his owner, Cheryl, decides he's too fat. No matter how much Murphy protests, Cheryl puts him on a diet and buys a treadmill. Soon, Murphy begins to enjoy the attention when everyone comes to see him walking on the treadmill. Although the story is somewhat lackluster, the bright cartoonlike illustrations add humor.
