Daisy and Friends: Rocky's New Friend was written by a retired pre-school teacher as a fun learning tool for other teachers. It teaches kids about getting along with others. Rocky, Smokie, H-Dee, and their friends visit the dog park, where they encounter a smaller dog who is the park bully. The main characters are Rocky, a German Shepherd; Smokie, an Italian Mastiff; H-Dee, a Rottweiler; Jerry, a Scottish Terrier; and Daisy, a white tiger cat. When Rocky is bullied by the smaller dog, he knows just the tactics to use to turn the smaller dog from bully to friend. Barbara J.
