In “Ginormous Jo’s Secret,” S C Cunningham explains the very link between listening and learning. Though the huge, white, huggable dog called Jo wasn’t sure at first when her mum brought home a cuddly little kitten called Vinnie, she grew to love him with time. Vinnie was loving, playful and made her laugh a lot. Because Jo didn’t want Vinnie behaving like their noisy, shouty, and greedy neighbours, she introduces him to “Liswat,” telling him the great importance of listening and learning from others and the very secret behind her being a clever dog. Does Vinnie now know the meaning of “Liswat?” "This was the cutest book that touched my heart. The author did an outstanding job, I enjoyed it and I think that any child would love this story too." "Hooray for Ginormous Joe! What a great story. Pure love really does have redeeming/transforming properties doesn't it? I want to meet Ginormous Joe and give him a great big hug. Gorgeous illustrations!" ******** ABOUT AUTHOR S C CUNNINGHAMOwned by 3 dogs and a cat, Cunningham normally writes suspense thrillers.

Need to teach your little ones the safety rules if they get lost?Want to reaffirm to young children basic safety practices?Let Ginormous Jo and her friends demonstrate the best ways to handle getting lost. In this new adventure everyone listens intently as Buddy, the new neighbours dog, explains how horrible and scary it was to get lost. Of course, he knew he shouldn’t have gone through that open gate alone. But disobeying is forgivable if you find yourself knowing you made a mistake and trying to make it better. In the retelling of his tale, Buddy demonstrates what to do if lost. Find an authority person like a police officer, security guard, lifeguard, or storekeeper. Find a safe place to ask for help, and make a safe meeting point when out with family. The dogs discuss knowing your phone number, address, and full name to give to an authority figure.
