Booklist - 05/01/2024 Elderly, deaf in one ear, and unable to run fast anymore, a family dog named George still needs to walk outdoors. The mother, father, and two older kids take turns encouraging him to keep up as they walk on the beach together. But Rosie, the younger daughter, follows along behind them more slowly while George keeps an eye on her, as he has always done. Once, when Rosie loses her red ball to the ocean, she cries as it floats away. George, after sitting and watching all night, sees it wash ashore and returns it to Rosie. And when she's bigger, Rosie walks George, and they look after each other. From the simple, well-chosen words of the narrative to the understated but essential connection between the old dog and the young child who care for each other, the book draws listeners in with its heartfelt tale and lovable main characters. Fresh and airy as a summer day by the sea, the digital illustrations portray the main characters and the seaside setting vividly. A satisfying picture book. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
