Felix and Alexander

Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the 'big world' anxiety of getting lost or feeling small in a busy environment. It is a comforting, imaginative story about a boy named Alexander who wanders away in a bustling city and his loyal stuffed dog, Felix, who bravely sets out to find him. While the city is depicted as vast and potentially overwhelming, the narrative focuses on the unbreakable bond of friendship and the idea that we are never truly alone when someone loves us. Ideal for children aged 3 to 7, this story uses the picaresque tradition to turn a scary situation into an adventurous journey of loyalty. Terry Denton's classic illustrations provide a sense of scale that validates a child's perspective of the world. Parents will appreciate how it opens up gentle conversations about safety, bravery, and the comforting reliability of our favorite companions, whether they are humans or beloved toys.
