Tails are not for Pulling Board Book

Pets may not have words, but they can communicate. Paying attention to an animal's cues; a joyful bark, a scary growl, a swhishing tail; can help a child understand what the animal is saying and what an appropriate response might be. That's part of what this book is about. But mostly it's about showing children how to love pets gently: because pets are for loving, after all.

Toddlers and pets belong together—as long as toddlers don’t chase, grab, squeeze, yank, and tease. In simple words and delightful illustrations, this book teaches the basics of kindness to animals: careful handling, awareness, safety, and respect. It also includes helpful tips for parents and caregivers.
