    Be thankful for your furry friends in this story of a boy and his beagle!

    Bobby has a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. He might soon become a big brother, his grandmother is coming for a visit, and he's absolutely thankful for his mom's pies, especially the pumpkin ones. But the number-one thing Bobby wants to give thanks for? His dog, Lucy. Lately, though, Lucy hasn't been her usual frisky self. She's quiet. She seems unhappy. Is something wrong with Lucy?
    For over 20 years, Ilene Cooper has been writing both fiction and nonfiction books for children, including The Golden Rule, Jack: The Early Years of J.F.K., and her chapter books (Absolutely Lucy) and early readers (Little Lucy) about a beagle named Lucy. She is also the children’s books editor at ALA Booklist magazine.
