Luna's guide dog, Whisper, doesn't know what to do about the children in Mrs Knowsy's class-they are all very different, and they do very different things. Some daydream all the time, some ride their chairs instead of paying attention, and some make inappropriate noises when Mrs Knowsy talks. But Mrs Knowsy knows EVERYTHING, even what children think. When big, big feelings overflow, she gently shows them how to pay attention, take turns, and help each other. Now Mrs Knowsy has the kind of classroom where things work.

A Wonk-a-Doodle Week, Book #1 in The Puppy-dog Series, is an engaging chapter book for first-time neurodivergent readers. With Whisper as the narrator, it celebrates being different and gently reminds readers that friendships encourage, uplift, and inspire us when we are kind to one another. When inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity spoil their day, teamwork steps in to save it.

Perfect for first-time readers who also love books by Gillian McDunn and Alyson Gerber.
