About This Book
In Steven Kellogg's charming picture book, 'A Rose for Pinkerton,' the beloved Great Dane Pinkerton finds himself with a new companion: a small, feisty cat named Rose. Initially, Pinkerton is less than thrilled, and their attempts to coexist lead to a series of humorous misunderstandings and playful chaos. The story gently explores themes of friendship, acceptance, and learning to get along with someone very different from yourself. It's a wonderful read-aloud for preschoolers and early elementary children, offering both laughs and a comforting message about finding common ground.
