Description

A golden retriever learns to cope with the anxieties of moving house in this charming picture book. Boomer’s ready for his morning walk. Here’s his leash. There’s the door. But try as he might, he can’t get anyone to pay attention to him. The humans in the house don’t rush out the door after breakfast as they normally do. And, most confusing of all, strangers arrive to pack all the things in Boomer’s house into boxes. There’s definitely something unusual going on . . . The simple text and heartwarming pictures charmingly depict Boomer’s confusion, anxiety, concern, and ultimate delight on this day familiar to all: moving day. “Humorously sympathizing with the tribulations of moving, this endearing picture book will soothe the anxieties of children facing a move.” —Booklist
