Lara Jo Regan, Michael Regan. Random House Books for Young Readers, $15.95 (48pp) ISBN 978-0-375-82487-6

The diminutive dog Mr. Winkle is back in A Winkle in Time: Mr. Winkle Celebrates the Underdogs of History, as told to Michael Regan, with photographs by Lara Jo Regan. The photogenic canine's many fans will enjoy watching him pose in a variety of costumes as he recounts the contributions of some of the world's lesser-known visionaries, from the Irish monks who rescued the texts of ancient Greece and Rome from oblivion, to Laika, the Soviet dog who roared into space on Sputnik II (and never came down).
