About This Book
Fenway and Hattie offers a heartwarming and humorous look at big life changes from the unique perspective of an enthusiastic Jack Russell terrier. When Fenway's family moves from the city to the suburbs, he faces a world of new smells, sounds, and challenges, including a slippery 'Wicked Floor' and taunting 'Evil Squirrels.' Most importantly, he grapples with the unsettling feeling that his beloved human, Hattie, is becoming more interested in new friends and activities like baseball than in him. This chapter book beautifully explores themes of friendship, belonging, resilience, and adapting to change, making it ideal for children aged 4-11 who are navigating similar transitions or simply love animal stories.
