About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting a new group activity and feels worried about being just another face in the crowd. While it serves as a clever counting tool, the heart of the story lies in celebrating individuality. It follows Mrs. Tuttle as she manages a class of twenty Dalmatians who all share the same name but possess wildly different personalities and physical quirks. It is a lighthearted way to show children that even when we look similar or belong to the same group, our unique traits are what make us special. This book is perfect for preschoolers and early elementary students who enjoy visual puzzles and gentle humor. It reassures children that a good leader or teacher sees and appreciates them for exactly who they are.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and lighthearted. It touches on identity in a metaphorical sense through the dogs. There are no heavy themes, and the resolution is joyful and inclusive.
Ideal Reader
A 4-year-old who is obsessed with dogs and is starting to recognize numbers, or a 6-year-old who might be feeling a bit shy about their own 'quirks' and needs to see those differences celebrated as helpful markers of identity.
