Each book reflects issues children experience and the animal characters give voice to emotions that children often cannot.
The main goals of the series are:
​To Help children
 who have difficulty verbalizing their life stresses but who can identify with animals. The animal characters experience the same issues: e.g.:  social isolation; personal identity conflicts; bullying; rejection; lack of power; decision-making; growing up challenges.
To Provide humane education for childrenteaching what animals need; to develop empathy; seeking to see the world through animal eyes; assisting in the early development of altruism.
A major goal is to turn potential animal abusers around--avoiding the inevitable escalation to violence against people. Children begin abusing animals when they are abused, or see abuse modeled in the adults around them. The P&P series seeks to give children more constructive options through humane awareness of animals as sentient beings.
To Teach through storytelling and entertainment: by encouraging reading by featuring colorful characters and engrossing stories.
To Develop early problem-solving abilities/analytical thinking:  the animal characters show how to set goals and develop step-by-step accomplishments to attain those goals. They face the consequences of their decisions and grow in personal responsibility.
To Promote the humane treatment of all creatures and the environment by furnishing tools for parents, teachers, counselors, and humane educators at home, school, in therapeutic settings, and at animal rescue environments.

There is never a dull moment with this book. The experienced of Ms. Tiffany Taas is so humbling before she reaches the top. She is one remarkable person who never stops dreaming until she gets her goal as an entertainer on Broadway. 

I hope to watch Broadway in New York City one day. I like the city so much that maybe one day I can see myself on the stage God willing. This book is so inspirational and so educational. The tips are so highly appreciated. What a perfect book to start and follow your dreams. It is such a fantastic read to motivate you not to give up and follow your dreams in life. 

I have one more year in high school. I do not know what to do yet in college. This book puts a beautiful insight into my future. I love musicals. I love to sing though I need to learn how to dance. To all kids like me, I hope all our dreams will come true. It could be in a broadway show or TV screen. May all our Waiting in the wings one day will capture the audience's hearts with a smile, tears, and above happiness for the performances we do.
