****A plucky farm dog will do anything to get a job--even be a
cow!
When a farmer tells a dog that "dogs just eat and don't give anything
back," the dog is disappointed, but not discouraged.
He'll try being a cow, a horse, and a chicken before he's done. As the
farmer learns the value of a good dog, children will laugh as the dog
finds his rightful place on the farm.
Teresa Batemen's endearing story celebrates persistence, ingenuity, and
the fact that everybody can make a contribution. Award-winning artist
Chris Sheban's illustrations are filled with warmth and humor. Kids and
parents will love this terrific read aloud with a subtle message about
never giving up.
Nominated for The Washington Children's Choice Award, The New York
State Charlotte Award, the Young Hoosier Book Award, and the Virginia
Readers' Choice Award.**
