This was a cute book.
Here are some possible talking points for younger kids.
Chapter 2: Roxy wishes upon a star and tells her dog watch that she can’t tell him what she wished for or it won’t come true
Chapter 7: Roxy takes the Peters kids on a ride with Calico the house without asking. They get lost and Calico gets hurt. Roxy tells the truth when she gets home and is given dinner and sent straight to bed. When her mom comes in to talk to her, Roxy says she is sorry and that no one loves her anymore. Although it seems that everyone forgives her, there are no words of affirmation written. No one saying, “of course we still love you and will never stop.” Or someone saying, “I forgive you.” It just says that Oliver wasn’t mad at her anymore, etc.
Chapter 8: Roxy wonders if Poky knelt down at midnight on Christmas Eve. It’s an old legend.
