Pippin and the Bones

32 pp. | Kids Can | April, 2000 | Trade ISBN 1-55074-629-4 $$12.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bernice Lum. While trying to bury her bone, Pippin the dog uncovers an entire mastodon skeleton, which the museum people are happy to acquire--but they take Pippin's bone too, by mistake. Though she's acclaimed for her find, Pippin is dejected until the museum finally returns her bone. Lum's simple cartoon-style drawings give Pippin an amusing personality, and the story's exaggerations will provide some smiles as well.
