The Dog Show

Reach for this book when your child is feeling the itch for a big change or struggling to see the world from another perspective. It provides a lighthearted way to discuss how our physical appearance relates to our identity and how we can find hidden strengths in unexpected situations. The story follows Wilby, a teenager who magically transforms into a shaggy dog, offering a playful entry point into conversations about self-confidence and adaptability. Designed for children ages 4 to 6, this adaptation focuses on the humor and wonder of the transformation rather than the more complex plot points of the original film. It is perfect for families who enjoy slapstick comedy and animal-centric adventures. Parents will appreciate the way it encourages children to imagine life through a different set of eyes, or paws, while celebrating the joy of simple, magical surprises.
