My Friend Charlie is a picture and cartoon book for young readers and dog lovers. Each cartoon figure represents a key lifestyle recommendation such as Enjoy the Day, Be Curious, Learn from Others and Be Yourself. The cartoons are followed by pictures of Charlie demonstrating the lifestyle. Charlie is a darling Cavalier King Charles puppy. Page spreads are color coordinated representing beautiful poses and backgrounds. It will be difficult not to fall in love with the photogenic Charlie. Charlie will most likely become a child's good friend, and he or she will learn important lessons as they reread the cartoon captions and Charlie's advice. There are also family pictures showing Charlie with family members and five hilarious dog related cartoons guaranteed to make the reader laugh, whether an adult or child. The book was intended for children from pre-school to ten years old, but anyone may enjoy the colorful characters and the unsurpassed joy of Charlie depicted in the many photographs.
