Unable to keep up with his three older brothers and coddled by his mother, Harold Sylvester George Klein (whom everyone calls "Little") fights constantly for respect. He always comes up short until crossing paths with a charismatic dog named LeRoy. Ylvisaker's boy-meets-dog story ripples with nostalgia. Though they may not be surprised, readers will cheer when the underdogs save the day.
