Buster, the Very Shy Dog
Three short stories to share aloud or for newly independent readers offer a lovable, wholly appealing character with whom many children will be able to relate. Buster is a big dog who feels very small. "Most people met Buster by accident." That's because Buster usually hides when there are strangers around. But even though he lacks confidence, Buster has qualities that make him special, as each of the stories reveals. Through the fresh and funny text and warm, whimsical illustrations, author/artist Lisze Bechtold reveals the brave heart of her gentle canine character. ©1999 Cooperative Children's Book Center
