Along Came a Dog by Meindert DeJong

3.0

A dog decides it’s his duty to protect a little red hen in the barnyard. This story did a great job of giving insight into the minds of the animal characters without anthropomorphizing them. It reminded me of The Underneath by Kathi Appelt. I went between 3 and 4 stars on this one. In the end, I wanted a bit more heart in the story.
