Muffy Goes To The Park

Muffy Goes To The Park is a children’s picture book. The target audience is, children aged 3-7 and parents/teachers of this age-group. The book’s main themes are: that there are consequences for behavior; that consequences should not diminish a child’s self-esteem, but; aid in his development: that love is unconditional.

The book’s major event was Muffy stealing out of the house to the park, without thinking of the possible danger to himself, or, how it would affect his mom, the cat, the mouse and their friends.

Muffy’s mom’s handling of the situation demonstrates a range of emotions, fear, anger, relief, concern, and forgiveness. She disapproved of his behavior, but, not of him.
