As Meggi Beth rests on a step, the street carries a variety of neighbors to her, all of them lost in their own thoughts. . .
Why is everyone so busy?
Too busy to hear a little girl's story.
When a lovely dog approaches little Meggi Beth, we are reminded that a youngster needs a pet and that pets make excellent listening buddies.
Even Mr. Rogers would be proud because it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood! Get this storybook.
