[Library Quine · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fun story about Buster the dog who finds a bone, the first thing he has ever possessed that hasn't been a hand-me-down from his rambunctious older siblings. However, when Buster's bone goes missing and the big dog next door is responsible, only team work will sort the problem. The story touches on sharing and sibling rivalry.
