"The Adventures of Burnie & Chloe, Burnie Makes a New FriendĀ is a touching story about acceptance, resilience, and the unbreakable bond that forms when two unlikely companions become the best of friends."
Burnie was an easygoing, happy dog who never had to share his space with another animal. While that pleased him, the solitude meant he never learned social skills; he never had to share food, owner's attention, or toys. When Ava's brother brought his canine companion, Chloe, over for a visit, Burnie learned that when it comes to dinnertime, one must eat fast if they don't want another pup to help themselves to seconds. In other words, guard your food bowl!Ā Ā
Chloe and Burnie's first interaction together did not make them instant friends. Actually, Burnie avoided Chloe after theĀ I can't believe you ate all my foodĀ incident. Their second visit started rocky weeks later, but their relationship eventually blossomed into a beautiful friendship. All because Chloe encouraged Burnie to climb up the stairsā to conquer his fears that manifested after a tumble off the sofa. Through her kind actions, Burnie realized he had misjudged Chloe and looked forward to their next doggie playdate.Ā
The story states, "Burnie learned a big lesson. You can have friends who are different from you." While this is true, the takeaway I got from the story was sometimes people (or animals, in this case) may not make the best first impression. They might not realize their words or actions have upset you. Besides teaching kids that friends come in all shapes and sizes, the story also teaches readers the importance of giving a person (or animal) a second chance. Be forgiving.Ā
Amazon's recommended reading age isĀ 3-8. Children younger than three might not understand the story's underlying message, but they will love adorable dogsāeven the four additional animals in Burnie's thought bubble.Ā
