Book 1 of Dirt Dog and Friends Series -  Dirt Dog Invites Prissy Poodle to the Prom

Dirt Dog has worked up the courage to ask an important question. After getting cleaned up and ready, his day does not go as planned.

When things get messy, Dirt Dog keeps choosing kindness and courage. By the time he reaches Prissy’s door, children discover an encouraging truth. Who you are matters more than how you look.

This warm and reassuring picture book is perfect for children navigating self-doubt, friendship, and the desire to belong.

The Dirt Dog and Friends Series is created for families, teachers, and caregivers who want stories that are engaging, emotionally thoughtful, and grounded in positive values.

Each book:

• Is written for ages four through eight
• Works well as a read-aloud or shared reading experience
• Encourages conversation about kindness, courage, and character
• Supports social and emotional growth in age-appropriate ways

New adventures are on the way, and more friends will be joining the series in May 2026. Stay tuned!

Dirt Dog is also working on an activity book, Dirt Dog's Reading Champion, designed for learning and fun. The printable version will be available to kids for free.
