Tooley! Tooley!

A parent might reach for this book when their child is starting to grasp the concept of earning money or wants a gentle story about doing the right thing. "Tooley! Tooley!" is a charming story about two friends, Marvin and Milton, who find a lost dog. They take good care of him, but upon discovering a "Lost Dog" poster with a reward, they decide to return him. The book sweetly illustrates their small, independent adventure and the satisfaction they feel from their kindness, which culminates in a well-earned trip to the movies. It’s a wonderful, uncomplicated tale for children ages 5-7 that models responsibility, empathy for animals, and teamwork, all wrapped in a warm, humorous narrative about the simple joys of childhood.
