What is Little Dog about?

Little Dog is nervous about visiting Great Aunt M’s unfamiliar house, especially when Big Dog refuses to hold his hand. Then Little Dog’s favourite toy, Froggie, disappears, and he is sure the Hairies have taken it. To get Froggie back, Little Dog must venture into the strange house and face the creatures he fears. With courage, he discovers that the Hairies are not frightening at all—they are lonely and would like to be his friends.
