There's a new dog in the house. What's a pooch to do?
Lola loves her humans but when they bring Sparky home, she has a bone to pick. With his long, floppy ears, green eyes, and massive paws, he doesn't look anything like her - and as for that mess he left by the tree. Ew!
But she's not the only one who's disappointed. Sparky wishes he had a new friend that was a little more bark and a lot less bite.
All these differences are... confusing. But when a sudden event leaves Sparky anxiously awaiting Lola's return, the dogs discover something truly surprising.
Sparky and Lola: A Tail of Unlikely Friends is a picture book for children aged 3 to 6 years that reveals that sometimes the best friendships are found in unexpected places.
