The Ballad of Booster Bogg

32 pp. | Shenanigan | September, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-1-934860-07-6 $15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Christine Mannone Carolan. Lovable Booster Bogg the dog is a free spirit who cannot be contained. When mean Mr. Green brings up the leash law, the townsfolk figure out how to circumvent this regulation. The verse has the lilting rhythm of a ballad, and the playful illustrations add to Booster's personality, but readers don't learn why it's so important to maintain Booster's independence.
