Hound Won’t Go
by Lisa Rogers (Author) and Meg Ishihara (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Out for a walk on a cloudy day, Hound suddenly decides that he’s gone far enough…right in the middle of a busy intersection! His owner tugs on his leash and offers treat after treat, but Hound won’t go. Then those clouds open up into a thunderstorm–and Hound goes and goes.

Snippet:
Hound stops.
Hound plops.

Light switches.
Hound itches.
