What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is secular and direct. It does not touch on heavy topics like illness or death, focusing instead on the vibrant life of a healthy pet. It briefly mentions that Frenchies can't swim well, which is handled as a safety fact rather than a scary event.
Ideal Reader
An early elementary student who is 'dog-obsessed' or a child who has been asking for a pet and needs to understand that animals have specific, unique needs. It is also great for a child who may be slightly nervous around dogs and needs to see their friendly, predictable side.
