Ralphy's Rules for Living the Good Life

One cranky squirrel + one happy dog = a lesson in emotional intelligence your kids will love!

When Joey bumps into Ralphy at the park, he can tell right away that Joey is a squirrel that needs to hear all about “Ralphy’s Rules for Living the Good Life.” Joey learns the value of kindness, not taking things personally, and being brave. 

It’s never too early to practice these important skills, and this duo is the perfect pair to help you open the door to those conversations.
