Polly belongs to Molly, Eric belongs to Derek, Berry belongs to Terry. But poor Mr. Scruff, alone in the rescue shelter, doesn't belong to anyone. Then a boy named Jim walks in, and they seem to get along. Jim and Mr. Scruff don't look anything alike, and their names certainly don't rhyme, but they may end up belonging to each other just the same. From author-illustrator Simon James comes a warm, winning story about friendship and finding a home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSimon James\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning author and illustrator of many picture books, including \u003ci\u003eGeorge Flies South, Little One Step, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLeon and Bob, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich was named a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e Best Illustrated Children's Book of the Year.
