Whimsical and cartoon-like images, created with watercolor, ink, and gouache, convey the energy of the playful pup and the changing mood of the story as it unfolds. Most readers will be able to relate to the main character's feelings of joy, loss, acceptance, and contentment. A gentle reminder about how possessions can be important, but friends are indispensable.
This book received the Caldecott Medal in 2012.
