SIMON AND THE BETTER BONE

Using the same innovative format as his Caldecott Honor winner, Mel Fell, Corey R. Tabor reimagines Aesop's "The Dog and His Reflection" in a clever, charming tale of empathy and generosity.

One day by the pond, Simon finds a bone. And he's happy until.. he spots a dog in the water with a better bone.

He tries everything to get that bone:

He asks nicely. Challenges him to a staring contest. Chases his tail.

But the other dog knows all the same tricks.

It's not until both pups are sopping wet and bone-less that Simon knows exactly what he needs to do to help his new friend...
