When kids meet dogs, magic happens. "Ralph's First Day of School" is the first interactive children's dog training book. It tells the story of Andy and Ralph on their last day of summer vacation, and incorporates dog training right into the story. Simple, clear instructions for training each of the tricks included in the story are provided, as is sound advice about dog training in general. Notes to parents spell out safety rules and encourage families to help their dogs live happily as part of their households. Vibrantly illustrated, this book will appeal to all families in which kids and dogs share space.

David and Jenny are great friends-despite their differences. They learn how to adjust how they do things so they can play together, because their friendship is worth it. Have fun reading to your child and teaching them about diversity in an interesting way. Endorsement: This book does a wonderful job promoting inclusion and de-mystifying differences. Children and families will now have shared insight into the experience of others with disabilities and challenges. Importantly, Jenny's story will emphasize the need for future bridges, bonds, and new relationships to be established amongst all families that otherwise wouldn't have occurred. - Christopher Ackerman DPT
