Charlie and His Neighbor

Charlie is a dog with a three-foot tail. He is different from most dogs, and his difference is what makes him special. In this third book of the series, Charlie befriends Meezer, a little Siamese kitten, who is very different from his siblings. He gets distracted easily and can't seem to stay focused. One day, Charlie learns Meezer is missing. You won't believe how Charlie saves him! Being different is something to celebrate. Children with ADD, ADHD and Autism may be different, but those differences are what make them who they are. Sometimes, these issues can cause frustration for both the child and adult. What is most important is that children always feel loved and we help them "Celebrate Our Differences"!
