This story opens with Rover in his dog house, chewing on a bone, wishing he had some friends with him so he wouldn’t be all alone. Suddenly a storm starts brewing and it’s raining—which Rover finds very boring. He’s sleeping through the storm, when cat comes to join him…then raccoon…then squirrel…blue jay…snake…and mouse tries, but they tell him it’s too tight a fit and the house might bust. Suddenly, everyone smells something terrible and they all scatter—a skunk has snuck into the house—and winds up having it all to himself! In the end, the rain stops and Rover is back in his house, chewing on a bone—quite happy to be alone. The illustrations in the book are wonderful—and definitely do a great job of portraying the emotions and actions in the story.
