Books like Two dog biscuits by Beverly Cleary
When the Gookin sisters, Maddy and Gracie, learn that the family dog wants to eat their prized biscuits, they set out to find another pup to enjoy the snacks.

The story follows the twins’ playful exploration of kindness, sharing, and the ethics of eating pet food, in Beverly Cleary’s characteristic gentle tone.
