Mr. Scruff
Simon James, illustrated by Simon James
Mr. Scruff waits at an animal shelter while other dogs are adopted by people whose names and appearances seem to match their own. Jim wants to take Mr. Scruff home, but Jim’s father points to their differences: Jim is small and young, while Mr. Scruff is large and old, and their names do not rhyme. Jim decides those similarities are not what matters. He gives Mr. Scruff the home he has been waiting for.
