Tristan is a curious, fun-loving Bichon Frisé who invites you to join him as he walks through the neighborhood, trains and works as a therapy dog, gets a haircut, goes to the vet and shops at his favorite pet stores. The Tristan and Trudee books reinforce responsible dog ownership, introduce children to the idea of volunteerism, and help them understand that animals also have feelings. Young readers can empathize with Tristan when he gets a haircut, sees his veterinarian, or goes to school. The series is also about friendship. While Tristan introduces readers to his many canine friends in the neighborhood, he also visits his best buddies at the California Veterans Home in Yountville. The variety of Tristan’s experiences, along with the many locations and themes, make the books very enjoyable for children.
