Playful Pal - Hardcover

by Ashley Mangrum (Author)

Meet Samson-a spirited Labrador retriever who doesn't know the word "stranger"... because each new person is waiting to be his next best friend!

Samson is an energetic, fun-loving Labrador pup who has never met a stranger. He loves getting to meet new people, make new friends, and find new playmates, no matter how interested they are in playing back!

It's true that Samson is full of spunk and always has a pep in his step... but his much older brother Pappy doesn't have the same energy. Sometimes, Samson's "pep" is too much for Pappy! While Samson wants to be friends with every pup he meets, Pappy is content to relax with the family.

No matter how different the two brothers' energy levels are, though, they always find a way to make each others' lives better! Samson teaches Pappy how to have a little bit of spontaneous fun, and Pappy teaches Samson the valuable lessons of learning to be calm in some situations.

Samson and Pappy's friendship can help teachers, parents, and guardians explain values to children, including making friends with others different from you can add spice to your life, and you can never have too many friends.

Playful Pal is a great storytime book for infants, toddlers, and young children who love dogs. Parents, teachers, and children will laugh out loud at Samson's silly antics. It makes an especially great gift for children who have Labrador retrievers-or those who have lost a dog and want to remember how fun and playful their best friend was!
