Reach for this book when your child is begging for a pet or when you are in the chaotic first weeks of bringing a new puppy home. While children often focus on the fun of a new dog, this story highlights the messy reality of accidents on the rug and the persistence required for training. It follows Froggy and his sister Polly as they choose a dog and learn that having a 'best friend' involves a lot of hard work and patience. Designed for preschoolers and early elementary students, the book uses humor and repetitive sound effects to make the lesson on responsibility feel lighthearted rather than preachy. Parents will appreciate how it validates the frustration of a pet that won't listen, while ultimately celebrating the bond that forms through consistent care and love.
