What is Fleabag about?

<p><P>A boy without a dog and a dog without a boy meet each other in the park. But the boy&#8217;s big people don&#8217;t approve of the friendship. The dog is dirty! And he has FLEAS! Will these two friends be able to find a home together?<P>Helen Stephens's timeless, kid-friendly art&#160;makes this heartwarming story a winner for anyone who's ever loved a dog.</p><h3>Publishers Weekly</h3><p>A familiar premise--lonely boy meets homeless dog--sets the scene for a heartwarming story, which Stephens (the Magic Movers series) adeptly delivers. Written in the third person from the pooch's perspective, the narrative easily captures his wistfulness and affability. In the park (the big green place), he notices that the other dogs all had people to take for walks. He wished he had a person, too. Shunned as a fleabag by dog walkers, the canine perks up when he sees a boy who has no one to play with (That didn't seem right). The mutt dashes to catch Bob's thrown ball, garnering his first-ever tickle, and a friendship is forged. The dog earns a permanent place in the family after his barking alerts Bob's big people that their son, sad because they are moving, is attempting to run away. Comb
