An amusing story about a dog named Rocky and his dog friends-Dee and Smokie. When they meet a smaller dog at the park who is mean and rude and tried to take control of the park by bullying- Rocky and his friends taught him a valuable lesson!!!!! I read it to my five year old grandson then before bed he asked me to read it to him again. He loved it. Thank you Goodreads for this free book.

Daisy and Friends: Rocky's New Friend is a cute little book about how bullying is hurtful but when someone steps up to be the bully's friend, it can open their eyes to see that maybe being mean isn't the way to go. This is a sweet book with a very powerful lesson that even adults need to hear sometimes.
