For parents

What Parents Should Know

These gentle stories are especially useful for talking about different comfort levels. Pug may need space or dislike an activity that Pig enjoys, and the friends learn that closeness does not require identical preferences.

Halloween costumes briefly upset Pug, and the arrival of more pugs makes Pig worry about belonging. The feelings are easy to recognize, and every story ends with reassurance and affection.
