McHorn and his Hidden Spots

by Laura L. Seeley

In this whimsical and humorous dog tale, award-winning author/illustrator Laura Seeley reveals the pitfalls of pride and jealousy for one admittedly very attractive Dalmatian puppy. Proud of his own spots and determined to beunique, McSpot hides, in an old hollow tree,every other spotted thing he comes across. This campaign works for a while until he discovers, in his own home, a most frightening competitor - a stuffed Dalmatian toy dog... just as handsome as himself! His war against the spotted interloper sparks a dramatic awakening for the self-centered young dog, who, in addition to accepting the follies of self-worship, learns that appearances are notas important as he had thought.As he recognizes himself to be a small but still important part of a larger spotted community, McSpot learns an important lesson... for as Seeley concludes, ?With more HEART and less PRIDE, he felt better inside.' And the heart is, after all, what REALLY matters.
