Reach for this book when your child is complaining about homework, early wake-up calls, or the perceived unfairness of their daily responsibilities. It is the perfect antidote to the case of the school-day blues, using humor to address the common childhood feeling that everyone else, including the family pet, has it easier than they do. Charlie is a young boy who envies his dog Norman's lifestyle of naps and snacks. When a lucky star grants his wish to trade places, Charlie quickly discovers that being a dog involves flea baths, eating kibble, and visits to the vet. This hilarious 'grass is greener' tale helps children ages 4 to 8 process feelings of jealousy and school burnout while ultimately fostering a sense of gratitude for their own lives and the unique joys of being a human child.
