When her parents refuse to get her a dog, May creates an imaginary dog out of a roller skate

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Every kid wants one, but few are as persistent and inventive about getting one ? or a substitute for one ? as little May. It seems to little May that everybody has a dog except her. She tries everything, even bringing one home, with no success. Then one day she accidentally discovers that a rollerskate can act like a dog, almost, so she works at acquiring the technical skill that will change it into one, almost. She leads it, walks it ? at first timidly, then boldly ? ties it up outside stores, takes it all the places a dog can go. In fact, she starts quite a fad on her street of rollerskate walking.

From the Back Cover:

“Very original and whimsical...the illustrations are beautiful, inspired.”
