Balthazar’s Bone is his favorite toy in the world, so when he wakes up and realizes it is missing he starts to freak out! He searches everywhere around the house, from the garden (no Bone) to the kitchen (no Bone!), and even in the bathroom—still no Bone! While he tries to calm himself with deep meditative breaths and creative yoga poses, he continues to get more and more worked up, leaving bigger and bigger messes in his wake. Where, oh where is Bone?\r\n\r\nParents and kids will appreciate the idea of deep breaths and quiet moments as a great way to calm yourself – even if Balthazar himself isn’t all that successful. Laugh out loud as this loveable, lively dog breaks a bathroom and rides a tidal wave down the stairs, tracks mud all over furniture, and interrogates other animals to eventually find his best friend, Bone, in the place he least expects.
