    Whether you need the perfect resource to reach younger kids (ages 3-8) or just want a great gift to give campers, our award-winning books, Love Me Gently, Gray Whiskers, and the Kids Activity Book are the ideal solution! The books are lesson-based stories of a boy and his rescue pup that uniquely bridge the connection between animals and humans and teach responsible pet care, keep kids safe, and prevent animal cruelty. Kids learn simple lessons such as allowing the dog to eat and sleep uninterrupted, patience in training, gentle handling, and safety around the house for both child and animal. These lessons can be applied to animals of all types so young readers are empowered and encouraged to make good choices, be responsible for their actions, and respectfully care for pets.  The books are available in English and Spanish. For more information, please email lisa@tailsthatteach.org or visit our website at www.tailsthatteach.org

    Tails That Teach partners with thousands of animal organizations around the country that provide humane education by donating our compassion-centered books and curriculum to use as tools in their programs and to gift every child with their own book to take home.

    Thank you for sharing this! Recently we were invited to attend an event to interact with the kids and try to teach them about being responsible pet owners. I was looking for things like this and next time we will be able to have a better lesson ready for them.

    I've passed this along to a shelter we partner with who is always looking for ways to engage kids in the community. Thank you so much for sharing!
