(3) K-3 Dog Toby has trouble making friends in his new neighborhood; this gets harder when he accidentally brings home another dog’s smelly ball from the park and attempts to rectify his mistake lead to his being labeled a “bad dog.” In Heder’s amusing soft-wash illustrations — a mix of spots, full pages, and spreads — dog communication techniques (i.e., peeing and barking) transform into color-coded conversations between the canines, expanding upon the straightforward text. Fortunately, the story resolves happily, demonstrating for young humans how important it is to face their troubles “nose to nose.”
Reviewer: Cynthia K. Ritter
