Bj and Scooter by Mary Ann Dudko is a charming children's picture book that follows BJ as he spends the day taking care of a playful puppy named Scooter. What starts as fun and excitement quickly turns into a lesson in responsibility, as BJ learns that caring for a pet involves more than just play—it also means feeding, cleaning, and keeping up with an energetic dog. With bright illustrations and a lighthearted tone, the story gently teaches young readers about empathy, patience, and the real-life challenges of looking after a pet.
