Reach for this book when your child is facing their first night away from home, whether it is a sleepover at a friend's house or a stay at a grandparent's. Through the eyes of Ringo the puppy, children see their own anxieties about unfamiliar environments, strange noises, and new house rules reflected in a safe and relatable way. The story gently validates the fear of the unknown while modeling how curiosity can eventually overcome apprehension. As Ringo navigates the creaky floors of Mrs. Plum's house and deals with a less-than-welcoming cat, he discovers that a new place can become comfortable with a little time and bravery. For parents of children aged 3 to 7, this book serves as a perfect conversation starter to discuss what to expect during a stay away and how to manage the 'jitters' that come with saying goodbye to mom and dad for the night.
