As you probably already know, I’m a big-time animal lover.
My children’s book, Building Character with Sam and Izzy featured many cute dogs (and a few cats, too).
Today, I want to tell you about a new book about a dog named Toby!
Toby makes Marley look like Mother Theresa.
This furry friend was a hellion on 4 paws. The stories are incredible of what he did, and what he destroyed.
But Toby has a secret.
He has a gift.
But you must read the book to discover the secret!
All I can say without giving away too much is that Toby has a great message to share, and if you love to read, especially about heartwarming stories, then you better order a copy of this book right away.
Not only is this book great… Hollywood sat up, took notice, and is making a movie of Toby’s life!
I can’t wait for this movie!
You can watch the book trialer here:
This is the ultimate book for readers, dog lovers and children.
It is heartwarming.
It will change your perception of ‘troublesome’ dogs.
It will show you hope where things seemed lost.
Pick up a copy (or two) today
Here are a few more books that feature dogs that you might want to consider:

25 Manners Every Kid Should Know!
My good friend and cousin Tracy (a Physical Therapist) and mother of two wonderful boys had posted a link on her facebook called “25 manners every child should know by age 9.”
I enjoyed the list.
I provide services for children (ages 7 to 12) at a residential treatment facility. The age “9” is about the average age.
Many of the children who I provide services for have a need for social skills training. I’m going to share the list of 25 manners with the children who I provide services for.
I do my best to role model all of these manners (social skills) when interacting with the children.
The Benefits for Using Manners:
Several leading experts like Daniel Goleman argue that emotional and social intelligence will be a far greater predictor of future success compared to IQ.
Anyone who has children or works with children should consider taking a look at this web-site link to read all 25 of the manners.
Here is the link:

And if you haven’t done so already, get a copy of my children’s book, “Building Character.” It teaches children 15 different character traits using pictures of cute animals.
