title: Lenore Finds a Friend: A True Story from Bedlam Farm (My Readers)
author:  Jon Katz 
description: Two of the canine stars of Meet the Dogs of Bedlam Farm (2011) return in this gentle true story of interspecies affection. Katz again pulls double-duty as writer and photographer and hooks readers from the first spread: When Lenore came to Bedlam Farm, she was just a puppy. None of the other animals wanted to be her friend. This, of course, is paired with a heart-melting shot of a lonely-looking puppy. Katz skillfully uses the repetition of a picture book to continue the story: The rooster crowed at her. The donkey tried to kick her. The goats just jeered. The plot soon becomes a three-character struggle between Lenore, the ram she kisses in hopes of making a friend, and border collie Rose, who disapproves of the relationship: Why would a dog want to be friends with a ram? Katzs photos, too, share the compositional traits of a picture book, with characters effectively foregrounded or split off into opposing halves of a frame to signal rumination or opposition. Its irresistible, of coursesmall, personal, and heartwarming. Preschool-Grade 1. --Daniel Kraus

  No goats or seagulls were harmed in the making of this novel. Characters in
  this book are completely fictional and not based on anyone in real life,
  though I do have a friend who gives good hugs, so therefore she could be a
  long lost relative of Lenora should they each do that genetic testing thing
  and find each other. The town is also fictional, but the trouble with the
  roundabout is, in fact, a real problem in the town I grew up in, which shall
  remain anonymous for obvious reasons. Any baby fever you ma
