Teachers! Teaching tolerance is often a difficult concept for young children. What better way to support that, than a live performance about a family, their spunky new pet and the challenges they encounter along the way. Whether it takes place on a stage or merely in a classroom, the lessons learned are universal. A teacher's guide is included to assist you and your class in creating a successful production.

The Paper Pup is the heartwarming tale of three daughters who ingeniously persuade their mother to get a puppy by constructing a Paper Pup, a puppy look-alike, in one night. The darling Paper Pup nearly moves this very practical mom to wondrous tears of joy over the magnificent effort her children put forth. Needless to say, it isn’t long before the real pup arrives and stirs a once hum-drum household into a barrel of laughs. In fact, it wasn’t long before the entire community was transformed from a quiet suburban neighborhood into one action-packed little town. Little Sugar, the pup who liked sweets better than bones, manages to bring smiles where ever she goes despite the hilarious commotion along the way. Even the grumpiest of the grumpy can’t help but be won over by her heart which is as fuzzy as her tail. This extraordinary pup has a secret power, you see—it’s called “L-O-V-E”.
