Hurry Home, Candy
Meindert DeJong, Maurice Sendak
Paperback
(HarperCollins, Sept. 13, 1972)
The dog was lost. He had no name, and no one to love him. He has only the silent, empty countryside, and a few crumbs and bare bones he could pick up. He had only himself, and he was afraid. Along the way, the little dog found a few friends, people who gave him shelter for a while, but always he moved on -- until he found a place he could call home forever.
