Review
Charlie the dog is king of the ranch until a newborn calf is brought in from the pasture and placed in his bed, under his blanket and he seems to be getting all the TLC usually reserved for Charlie. He soon sees through that and learns that there is plenty of love for all. The pictures are bright and colorful and quite expressive. The quality of the book is fair/poor, unless it is this copy only that is bad, I'm concerned that it will not hold up in library circulation.
Overall Book Score: fair
