MADELINE FINN AND THE LIBRARY DOG

This is Bonnie. She's a great listener. Meet a little girl called Madeline and her fluffy white doggy who is big like a snowy polar bear and beautiful. As Madeline tries to read, at first she is nervous. She gets the letters mixed up and the words don't sound right. But then she looks at Bonnie and she looks right into her eyes. She doesn't giggle. 'I feel better. I try again.' Madeline does not like to read books, magazines or even the menu on the ice cream van but fortunately she meets Bonnie, a library dog and reading out loud to Bonnie isn't so bad. It's okay to go slow and get help from a friend. Inspired by Pets as Therapy charity and the 'Reading Dogs' programmes used by many schools and libraries, designed for ages 3-7 years, a huge 24.8 x 28.6cm 32 page reading book which is gentle and kind and has the most exquisitely beautiful artworks throughout in full colour.
