About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling a bit anxious about fitting in at school or needs a lighthearted reminder that being yourself, even if you are a bit unusual, is the best way to make friends. It is a perfect choice for the student who struggles to sit still or feels that the traditional classroom structure is a bit too rigid for their imagination. Following the hilarious adventures of two dogs who pretend to be a human student, this story explores the value of unconventional thinking and the importance of belonging. While the premise is absurd, the emotional core focuses on Sassy and Waldo's sincere desire to help their human friend Stewart and find their own place in his world. It is a joyful, high energy read that celebrates creativity and the quirky bonds of friendship.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and lighthearted. It touches on the pressure to perform in school and the feeling of being an outsider through a metaphorical lens (dogs in a human world). The resolution is hopeful and reinforces the idea that there is a place for everyone.
