With the growing diversity in our country, this is a very timely book.  The students in this story are curious and brutally honest with their questions to their new classmate, Samantha. They want to know if she eats mice, walks on a leash, wags her tail and uses a litter box or goes outside. The  cast of characters are lively and learn about acceptance, tolerance and how to get along. Bryan Langdo’s illustrations are colorful, expressive and tickle the imagination! I love the book cover.\"—\u003ci\u003eChildren's Books Heal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"This sweet, funny and timely book offers a child-friendly excursion into the important issue of diversity.
