Poor Louie by Tony Fucile is another dog story I explored this weekend from my school library. As I read the story I kept connecting in our yearly days of marriage with just us and one dog. The three of us did everything together and then things started to change a bit when a baby was on the way. As Louie watches new things arrive to his home he realizes he may not be quite prepared for this. He begins to think there's going to be two new things coming home. As a reader, I could feel Louie's uneasy feelings through the illustrations. They are carefully crafted to support this story. I so desperately want to share the ending of this story but it was a huge surprise to me and one I didn't predict.
