[edit]

Two dogs named Nap and Winkle find one bone and have difficulty deciding which of them owns it. Nap and Winkle begin to ask people who the bone belongs to. They ask a farmer, a goat, and a haircutter. A big dog takes the bone from both Nap and Winkle. After, getting the bone back from the big dog, Nap and Winkle discover that the bone belongs to both of them.

Reviews

“Here is a perfect combination of rollicking story and pictures that have strength, life and humor in every line.”[3]
