This reassuring picture book about standing up for yourself and finding security in new experiences is a great read for any first-time camp goers or overnight stays.
Roxie is excited to be going away to Camp K-9 for a fun-filled summer, but she's scared that the other dogs will find out she's brought her blankie along in her Pooch Pouch. What if the other campers find out and call her a scaredy-cat? Even worse, a mean bully named Lucy seems determined to cause trouble. But as it turns out, maybe some of the other campers have secrets too...
