What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This is a very straightforward, gentle story about a positive relationship. No death, divorce, or complex issues are present.
Ideal Reader
A preschool or early elementary child (ages 3-6) who adores their family pet. Also excellent for a child who is about to get a dog, as it sets realistic (and humorous) expectations about a dog's behavior. It's for the child who sees their pet as a full-fledged family member and friend.
