Prowlpuss

Reach for this book when your child is feeling a bit like an outsider or needs reassurance that their home is a safe harbor after a long, active day. It is especially helpful for children who are drawn to rough-and-tumble play but still crave soft, quiet affection. Prowlpuss is a scruffy, one-eyed, one-eared street king who spends his nights roaming the neighborhood in search of love and adventure. While he experiences a touch of rejection under the moonlight, the story ends with a comforting return to the tiny woman who loves him exactly as he is. The rhythmic, rolling text makes it a perfect wind-down read for ages 4 to 8, balancing the high energy of a night out with the deep security of belonging.
