Dogs Do Summer Reading Too!

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

These 4 storybooks about dogs are ideal for reading aloud. With large, beautiful illustrations, children's imaginations will grow and they will begin to love dogs as much as you and I. I encourage you to read daily to your children for as long as they will allow it. I'm convinced that this practice has been a significant part of many children's success in reading and education.

The stories in this collection include Skippyjon Jones and the Big Bones, My Big Dog, Zoomer and Always in Trouble. If you'd prefer instant access to any of these stories online--they're dirt cheap--just click the link and you can order them from Amazon. Otherwise, I invite you to enter to win them here. Four winners will each receive 1 book for their child.

As always our Rafflecopter may being playing dead. All you have to do to revive it is click on the post title. It's like CPR for Rafflecopters :) You'll be free to enter through Thursday, August 15 and winners will be announced on Friday, August 16. Good luck!

These children's dog stories were purchased by me at my own expense. I encourage you to read to your children, grandchildren and any child in your life. Reading is an acquired skill that gets better with practice, even when read aloud by an adult. Enjoy! a Rafflecopter giveaway

The Diamond Dogs said...: The book Zoomer is most appealing, because it looks like a cute read about a dog with a very adventurous spirit. My pups have wild and curious personalities too. I could also use this book to take with me for kids to read to my TD when we visit with kids.; August 9, 2013 at 12:28 PM
