A child describes how she lives sometimes with her mother and sometimes with her father, but her dog is her constant companion.

Fred Stays With Me!

Scott Nash

Baby Rudy tries to find a gift for his mother and gets discouraged when things don't go as he planned, but with help and encouragement from his family he finally succeeds.

Uh-oh, Baby!

Told from the point of view of a young child whose parents are divorced, Fred Stays with Me follows a girl and her dog, Fred, from one parent's house to the other's, giving her a sense of continuity and stability. With a simple text and childlike language, the story expresses and addresses a child's concerns, highlights the friendship between child and pet, presents a common ground for the parents, and resolves conflict in a positive way. Tricia Tusa's charming and whimsical artwork adds a light, happy feel to this poignant--but not overly sentimental--story.

Dogs in space visit each of the planets in the solar system, finding no one at home anywhere, and return to Earth.
