GINORMOUS JOE'S BROKEN BARK written & read by S C Cunningham A stunningly illustrated children's picture book about a big white huggable rescue dog who learns to stand up to a bully. Ginormous Joe is the size of a lion but has the courage of a mouse. Through his story we learn to care for animals, that good wins over bad and family love conquers all. Joe is a big white huggable dog owned by a man called Nasty Nik. Nik is not a good dog owner, he is mean to the lovely Joe, so eventually Joe loses his confidence and his bark. One day Nik abandons Joe on the streets, but luckily the kind Tuttle family find and rescue him. With plenty of love, hugs and humour,they bring back his confidence. Joe shares with us his funny look on life; 'Why does Mrs Tuttle pick up my poos, it's SO embarrassing?' 'Why do the Tuttles changes their clothes every day? I have one white fur coat and it suits me just fine'. Young Mary Tuttle becomes his best friend and helps him through the embarrassment of being the size of a lion, but having no bark. The other dogs laugh at him, he is fed up and feels useless. Mary believes in him, she gives him love, hugs and courage. When a burglar visits the Tuttle's house, can love mend Ginormous Joe's Broken Bark?
