Charles and his older sister, Lizzie, are in elementary school. The Peterson family have a puppy named Buddy plus they foster dogs and help them find homes.

Charles' mom signs him up to be in a play and he doesn't want to do it ... but he has no choice. He is nervous and forgetting is lines. Mrs. Davis, the music director, shows up during one of the rehearsals with a rescue corgi puppy named Cooper. Charles takes to Cooper right away and Petersons foster him. The play's director notices that having Cooper near makes Charles more comfortable and he's written into the play.

Though this book is a quick read and directed at elementary-aged children, I found it entertaining. There is a learning experience and a puppy tip at the end. It is written in third person perspective and first person from Cooper's point of view. It is the thirty-fifth in the Puppy Place series, which currently has 66 books in the series, and works as a stand alone.

This was pressed into my hands by my 7 year old. In summary it is great all round for kiddos, and decent for an adult co-reader.

This is a perfect book for a kinder/1st grade “advanced reader” to try independently (Technically it’s a 3rd grade reading level) or as a read aloud to a kinder transitioning into chapter books. There are 10 chapters in the book, no illustrations, a couple unusual words are defined, the story has a cute puppy and almost no tension.

A cute book with an unofficial use of a dog as an emotional support animal. My nieces and nephews all love to be involved with Theater, and they love puppies, so this is an ideal book for all of them, not matter what their age. Not sure about the new owner though.

Short easy read and a really cute story. I imagine these books would be great for early readers who love dogs.

Quick and easy read! Great plot and I loved the ending. Good book to get you out of a slump, the plot twist was crazy and the book kept me hooked from the first page to the last.

I really liked the book, Cooper.
While rehearsing for a play, Charles meets Cooper, a corgi with a whole lot of personality. Charles has one of the main parts but he is stage fright. Charles only feels comfortable onstage with Cooper there with him. I think that Cooper is really important in Charles day because Copper saves the day! Thanks to Copper the play went perfectly normal.
