Big Dog.....Little Dog “Finding Friends the Old-Fashioned Way” - explains the frustrations of little Max, an abandoned terrier who believes that his loneliness and lack of friends is because he does not have a cell phone, something in common with many children today. With the help of PJ, Scout and all the Forest Friends, Max soon learns by direct contact and adventure through the world around him, that the best and most true friends are those who you make directly, face-to-face. The struggles with social media, scammers, hackers and even possibly those who can do harm to children via their phones and cyber devices, are made clear to Max as he attains his true friends for life. This is an ideal platform to alert children to the dangers of screen time and cell phone mis-use, and the perils are discussed gently and in a manner that young impressionable children will enjoy and accept. This is the 11th Family Reading Series book by Clay Sherrod.
