MY DOG IS LOST! or MI PERRO SE HA PERDIDO
(with Pat Cherr), Crowell, 1960 (Now Viking)
Juanito has just moved from Puerto Rico to the big city. Everything is so strange and different even the language. Juanito is sad because he has no friends, or words to aid him in his search for his lost dog. This refreshing book pre-dates The Snowy Day but displays all of Keats’s mastery of fusing image with story. In finding his dog, Jaunito also finds good friends in his new hometown.
