Book Synopsis
A young girl is afraid of dogs, and a small dog is afraid of children in this funny, big-hearted picture book about overcoming fear to find friendship. Jia runs from every dog--big, tiny, spotted, or shaggy. Charlie the French bulldog hides from every kid--behind couches, laundry, even grown-ups' legs. When something far scarier forces these two together, they discover a sweet surprise: a friend who understands.Review Quotes
