Bookroo's summary
Simon, a curious dog, encounters his reflection by the pond, each with a bone. But the other bone seems better. As Simon plots to trade, he faces a clever opponent—himself. Can he outwit his own reflection, or will he learn a lesson in empathy and generosity? Discover the twists in this playful reimagining of a classic fable.
From the publisher
Using the same innovative format as his Caldecott Honor winner, Mel Fell, Corey R. Tabor reimagines Aesop’s “The Dog and His Reflection” in a clever, charming tale of empathy and generosity. One day, down by the pond, Simon meets another dog just like him. And that dog has a bone just like his, only better! How will Simon ever get him to trade, when the other pup knows all the same tricks…?
