Teach kids about adaptability with this humorous, empathy-building Level 2 Paw Prints Reader.
More than anything, Cam loves to create art--he paints, he draws, he builds! What's more, his dad loves to display these creations proudly all over their walls!
It's no surprise that, when Dad surprises Cam with a rambunctious puppy, Cam names him Art. Art loves art just as much as Cam does. He loves to Stamp! Scratch! Plop! all over it. He stomps on Cam's paintings, he scratches Cam's drawings, and he knocks over Cam's buildings.
What will Cam do about all this mess? And what about his budding frustration with his new friend? Will Cam find a way to manage his anger and help Art redirect all that energy away from Cam's masterpieces?
