When their collie dog, Floss, has puppies, the children get permission from their father to keep just one, yet their difficult decision is made easier when little Sam runs off unexpectedly and successfully herds the flock together just like his mother had always done in the past. Reprint.

An artist and printmaker, Kim is also the successful author and illustrator of many children's books.
PreSchool-Grade 2-Floss, the Border collie in Lewis's previous book of that title (Candlewick, 1992), now has puppies, and her young owners are allowed to keep only one of them. The children watch the five littermates as they grow and play, trying to find the one that will be just like Floss. All of the pups enjoy playing except Sam, the littlest, who always keeps close to his mother. When he encounters the family's flock of sheep, however, he stands his ground, stares them down, and reveals his natural talent for herding. The family decides to keep him and find good homes for his brothers and sisters. From the endpapers, with their soft colored-pencil illustration of a snowy grassland landscape, to the appealing portrayal of the dogs and the children, Lewis has created another heartwarming book.
