How Maji Gets Mongo Off the Couch!

This delightful story features two pups, Maji (which rhymes with magpie) and Mongo (which rhymes with bongo). Maji and Mongo were dogs of the same breed, but they were very different, very different indeed. One a sad couch potato, the other a happy playful tornado! When they met Mongo never ventured outside, but that all ended when Maji knocked on his door. Feats of strength and bouts of bravery draw these adorable pups together into a friendship that changes Mongo’s life forever and gives Maji a new best friend.

Each book will also include an addendum, covering tips for parents that will help them reinforce the concepts.
