Review: Very Good Lesson For Children!
Rating: 5 out of 5

I really enjoyed reading this book to my 4 year old grand kids and it teaches several lessons.  Don't talk to strangers, seek help from a trusted person and all is forgiven.  The story is about a 7 year old who is grounded, not allowed to go outside, and finds himself in a situation to follow or not follow his dog who just ran out of the house and make sure he is safe from the busy streets.  He decides to ignore his grounding and chases after his dog.  An adventure ensues and soon they find that they are far from home and lost.  Knowing his Mother will be mad he needs to find his way back, not easy for a 7 year old.  It's a good thing he was listening to his teacher and others when they talked about strangers.  All's well that ends well and Ollie is reunited with his family.  I'd recommend this to all parents, because it was not only a good story but it brought up a lot of questions from my grand kids and we had a great conversation about safety and forgiveness.
