Oh! If Only...

24 pp. | Andersen | April, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4677-1213-2 $16.95
(3) K-3 "Oh! If only... / I had stayed at home that day..." begins a clever story in which a calamitous chain of events unravels. A boy's innocent meeting with a dog turns into a spectacle affecting a parade, the queen's birthday, and more. The book's full-circle ending reinforces the simple theme of friendship while vibrant watercolors capture the wide-reaching havoc with small details.
