Emma the dog came out of the vet’s office with a cone around her neck. The cone limited the things she liked to do. She tried to destroy it. She sulked about it until she found out that there were benefits on having a cone around her head. But Emma still had a continual problem with Keith the squirrel who was always teasing her or ruining her things. Will the cone help her with Keith? 

I liked Cone Dog's underlying message that when bad things happen, we can find the good and still be happy. Howden's text is fun and interesting. Mok's illustrations are charming and capture important emotions.
