Reach for this book when your child is struggling to navigate a new social situation or when they are feeling impatient with a peer who is slower to join in. This gentle story follows Biscuit, a friendly puppy who encounters a new, smaller dog hiding under a porch. While Biscuit is eager to jump right into play, the little pup is nervous and needs time to adjust to a new environment. The book beautifully models empathy and persistence. Through Biscuit's actions, children see that friendship doesn't always happen instantly: sometimes it requires sitting quietly, offering a toy, and waiting for the other person to feel safe. For parents of preschoolers and early readers, this is a perfect tool for teaching the social cues of boundaries and the rewards of being a kind, patient friend.
