What's Claude Doing?

I think this book is the sweetest thing that I have ever read. Anyone who has had a dog will love this book. Claude, who is the cutest Bassit Hound that you have ever seen, stays home from playing with his animal friends to watch over his sick boy to make sure he doesn't get lonely. It makes me miss my dog, and wish that she could be with me now, making sure that I don't get lonely. It is also a good book for those times that you want a book to read to a child, but you don't want one that is to complex or long. It is short and sweet, but in the same time filled with meaning and sentiment.
