Full Description

Mr Prim comes home from work.

Scruffy jumps with joy.

But Mr Prim shoos Scruffy away

and plays with Silk instead.

Scruffy feels unwanted until one night...

A story about family relationships and belonging.

This book explores the personalities of two characters and concludes that they are both important in their own different ways. It is good for opening discussion about individual differences.

As an early reader book, the simple text uses alliteration, repetition, and descriptive action words
