Do any publishers jump to mind? =20 Thank you all for any suggestions you may provide.

Renee -----Original Message----- From: Tobin, Renee [mailto:Rtobin@ci.rancho-cucamonga.ca.us] Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2003 8:23 PM To: PUBYAC Subject: Stumper: lazy dog with couch Yaccers to the rescue, Does anyone recognize the following book from the patron's recollection of the plot? She read it to her children about 5 years ago but it was not from our library's collection. A family has a very lazy dog and when they take the dog with them camping or anywhere they bring along the couch for the dog. We've tried our own catalog, and A to Z with no luck. Thank you.

I'm posting this for another children's librarian within our system. Please let me know if this sounds familiar to anyone. "I have a patron looking for a picture book she remembers being read to school children (up to 5th grade) which begins with a frog eating a dragonfly. Cause and effect events continue until someone has a heart attack and the person is saved. Somewhere a red hat figures into the story. At the end of the story it is clear that if the frog had not eaten the dragonfly, the circle of events would not have begun, and the person who had the attack might not have lived. The patron is not sure about the publication date of this book, but she thinks it might be older." If this sounds familiar to any of you, please e-mail me directly at cvcharron@yahoo.com. Thank you in advance for any help you may provide. Connie Charron, Children's Services Sup.
