Move Over, Rover! by Karen Beaumont illustrated by Jane Dyer*

Won Theodor Geisel Honor
Rover is alone in his doghouse gnawing on his bone.  When it begins to storm, many animals join him.  In the background (but not mentioned in the text) is a skunk.
Loved this story!
Rhyming text.  The illustrations support the text and allow reader to make predictions.
Strategies: predictions, text to text connections (we connected it to Jan Brett's The Mitten and then made predictions based on our schema from that story line.)
*Highly recommend.
