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.
Their mom agrees to foster and find a home for Daisy, a Boston terrier ... a colleague had given Daisy to her daughter and having a puppy along with young children is too much. Charles is delighted to be in charge of Daisy. But he soon discovers how destructive she is ... when she's left alone, she destroys everything, including a cushion on the couch! They don't want keep her crated or give her to a rescue but they can't be with her all the time to keep an eye on her.
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 Daisy's point of view. It is the thirty-eighth in the Puppy Place series, which currently has 66 books in the series, and works as a stand alone.

I really liked this one about Luke, a boy with epilepsy in the same class as Charles. Charles gets very sad when two mean kids make fun of Luke for puking and because his mom is always in their classroom. Luke has seizures and Daisy is the dog that's there to help him.

Charles Peterson agrees to foster a Boston terrier puppy when her original owner is overwhelmed dealing with a baby and toddler. This book had the theme of bullying and service dogs without the theme being overbearing. Perfect! Loved it!

The Puppy Place series is super popular with children at my library. When I saw this title featuring a Boston terrier I knew it was time for me to try out this series (I always like to read the popular series so I know more about the books I recommend). I really enjoyed this cute book, it has a mix of fun mixed with some serious topics. This particular title focused on what to do if your friend/classmate is being bullied, children with epilepsy, and service dogs. I liked the mix of educational and fun reading. I would recommend this chapter book for children who love animals.

I've been reading these with the kiddos. We havent been reading them in any type of order. They just look at the front and if they see a dog they like that's the books they pick. I love how each of these have some type of life lesson in them as well. This one taught my six year old about epilepsy and gave us a chance to discuss it in a way she understood. I love how they have these little things in there that the kids can pick up on and enjoy the book!!!!
