About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is daydreaming about fame or feeling a restless urge for a big, sparkly adventure. Broadway Doggie captures the giddy excitement of 'what if' by transporting a lovable pup from his backyard to the bright lights of New York City. It is an ideal choice for transitional readers who are ready for more text but still crave humor and a fast-paced, imaginative plot. The story explores themes of curiosity and the realization that sometimes the best adventures help us appreciate home. While Sparky encounters the overwhelming world of show business, the tone remains lighthearted and encouraging. It is a perfect tool for building vocabulary and confidence in second or third graders who love animals and the magic of the theater.

Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and lighthearted. There are no heavy themes like death or trauma. The mild 'peril' involves being lost in a big city or the anxiety of being on stage, which is resolved through a hopeful and funny return to safety.
