We always tell our kids to be themselves but it's hard and when they hit middle-school and high schol the pressure can be mind-numbing. Is this book going to solve that issue? No, it's a kid's book for goodness sake.

But...

This book, a story about a dog who does not like the way he looks, is a great way to teach young children that to accept yourself as you are is a good thing. It also shows us that when we give in to fads and fashion, we can loose our identity.

A great book.

Message:
[Parents] See, we should be ourselves.
[Kids] See what happens when we try to be what others think we should be?
