Book Description
Have you ever met people who think their dog is sooo wonderful? They talk about little Princess or Fido ALL the time. You wonder if they secretly think their dog is...a kid! Well, if you think they’re weird, you haven’t met Mr. and Mrs. McVitie. The McVities love their dog Judy so much, they long ago forgot that she’s not human. They let her sleep between them in the bed, they sew little outfits for her, they take her photo at every opportunity. One day, they dress her up and send her to kindergarten. The McVities even have a birthday party for Judy and invite all the kids and their parents. Are the McVities out of their minds? the parents wonder. Do these people think this dog is a kid? At the party, they soon find out exactly what the McVities think—and it’s even worse than they imagined: the McVities want Judy to blow out the candles! Judy saves the day with a birthday wish that changes their lives forever, and finally helps the McVities face reality. (Well, sort of). Simon Black teaches in the English department at Cal State LA. He is currently a writer on the animated show Chico and Guapo, which debuts in October on MTV2 and features two Latino characters trying to make it in the music business. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, two kids and dog named Judy. Mexican artist Honorio Robledo illustrated El Cucuy, Nico Visits the Moon, and Super Cilantro Girl.

Book Description
A boy raised by wild dogs fights for survival in this gripping post apocalyptic tale by an acclaimed Carnegie Medalist. Jeet is a dogchild, raised by the wild dogs who killed his parents, then recaptured and “rehumanized.” He now lives with one of only two remaining human communities in the world, besieged by the much larger enemy clan. In a wasteland shaped by war, starvation, and haunting violence, Jeet grapples with his identity — he misses his wild family, and the people of his clan see dogchilds as less than human. When the human clans begin to prepare for a final, bloody battle against each other, Jeet is at the center. His struggle and his relationship with another rehumanized dogchild shed light on what it means to be human or inhuman — and what it takes to be a survivor. In his most ambitious novel yet, Carnegie Medalist Kevin Brooks offers a breathless work of speculative fiction that will have readers at the edge of their seat.

As the reality sinks in that she is unwanted, Bella is heartbroken. Where did she go wrong? Things look bleak until a kind couple, the Roses, take Bella in.

Book Description
This is a book intended to be read by an adult to a child. The adult can determine which portions or the entire book, that is age appropriate. It is an educational book to help prevent possible dog bites or attacks, as well as helping children know how to treat a dog, in order to have good relationships with them. Too often as parents, we simply don't think about teaching safety issues concerning dogs, until there's a situation happening. That is not the time for teaching, but for action. Prevention can go a long way. Even if you don't own a dog, every child should be taught, as they will come into contact with dogs in other situations. This book is one an adult can use for both a child who may be fearful of dogs, and a child who is too bold with dogs, and should learn more respect. Parents know the stages of their kids as well as the child's temperament and history they've had with dogs. All these factors come into play when teaching about safety and dogs. This is a subject that all too often doesn't get taught at all. The book closes with some silly photos to end on a lighter note.

Book Description
Any dog owner knows that babies and dogs have a lot in common. You bring them into your house as foundlings, you feed them, you bathe them, you clean up their messes, you name them and give them a warm place to sleep, and you show them off to the neighbors. Other than your baby 's inability to jump up on the dining room table and eat a roast beef when nobody is looking, babies and dogs are virtually interchangeable.Many of us have come to think of our dogs as our children, and this fully illustrated gift book for dog lovers and empty nesters looks at that relationship using tongue-in-cheek humor.
