A Carousel Tale

Ernst's favorite carousel animal is the sunny golden dog with the tail that really wags. Actually, the tail is not wagging, but loose-so loose that Ernst finds it on the ground right after the carousel closes for the winter. He promises the carousel keeper that he will take good care of the tail until spring, but it looks lonely on his toy shelf. "Ernst decided to cheer it up. He gave the tail bright eyes, a smile, feathery wings, and a big curly tail of its own." Now Ernst has a new favorite toy. What will he do when springtime comes? Full-color mixed-media illustrations.
