"They say dogs are man's best friend, but in this story, a dog creates...Chaos!

One by one, each animal refuses her teary plea until, surprisingly, the smallest of them all meets the challenge and comes to the rescue proving that even the tiniest creatures can be the bravest." -- publisher

A playful exploration of volume and capacity featuring Native characters and a glossary of Cherokee words." -- publisher
