About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is begging for a pet or constantly coming up with new business ideas. It addresses the gap between the excitement of a new project and the daily reality of hard work. The story follows two friends, Evie and Megan, who learn that running a pet-care business involves more than just playing with animals when four puppies are left on their doorstep. It is a gentle, humorous exploration of responsibility and problem-solving for children in the seven to nine age range. Parents will appreciate how the book models the transition from a self-centered perspective to an empathetic, care-giving one, showing that while puppies are fun, they require a level of commitment that can be overwhelming for beginners.
