From Booklist
First turned into a picture book in 1978, Kumin’s tale is an identity story in which the protagonist is a dog who’s worried about his looks. “He was either all white with a great many black spots or all black with even more white ones. . . . He didn’t know which.” Friend’s playful gouache illustrations capture both the sweetness and the anxiety of Caesar as he sets out from his comfortable home in search of answers. He gets his favorite one from a carnival guru who loves lollipops: “On the surface you are the color you are . . . deep down in your heart. . . . You are whatever color you want to be.” This is a longer-than-usual picture book with more than the usual amount of text, but Kumin’s engaging story and its many whimsical details (the dog’s doctor is a black-and-white woodpecker, for instance) will keep young readers’ attention as Caesar realizes that he is actually all seven colors of the rainbow. Preschool-Kindergarten. --Abby Nolan
