First time home without mom

I first read this little book, or rather had most of it read to me, when I was three. It is a delightful little story about a young boy who has to be home alone with his pet dog, Gus, waiting for his mom to get back from work. It details all of the antics of the afternoon in a way that children who are latchkey or home alone a lot can easily identify with. I think your child would like it. Good to about age 9 or so.
