Shep: Our Most Loyal Dog

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Joanna Yardley. Sheep-herding dog Shep became nationally beloved in the 1920s when, after his master died and was taken away by train, Shep waited at the station for over five years. Yardley's static watercolors reflect the changing times but don't truly convey Shep's spirit. Although wordy, Collard's narrative ably chronicles the genesis of a national (canine) hero.
