(4) K-3 A little girl ponders what makes "the perfect dog": "The perfect dog should be big... / bigger... / biggest!" But "maybe not this big," she says, from beneath a Great Dane. This slight pattern of superlatives continues (interspersed with some traits the perfect dog should not have), but, ultimately, a just-right pooch finds her. The understated text contrasts humorously with cartoony, personality-filled illustrations.
