May wanted a dog more than anything else in the world. (from the first line)
| 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 Publisher:
When her parents refuse to get her a dog, May creates an imaginary dog out of a roller skate. |
Annotation:
A young girl named May tries to convince her parents that she is responsible enough to adopt a dog. Illustrated with color paintings.
