Teddy Tales

Teddy Tales, designed as a "therapy dog in a book," is a collection of stories to be shared with young children and their adults. This rescue puppy's real-life adventures can assist in processing children's developmental issues and social challenges, besides teaching elements of pet care. Discussion questions are added to each chapter to facilitate classroom or adult-to-child interaction. Counselors, educators, veterinarians, and family members will value this charming resource.

Author Karen Spruill, M.A., L.M.H.C., draws on her experience in children's therapy, editing, journalism, pet ownership, and parenting to create Teddy Tales. She practices as a counselor and writes a weekly blog in Orlando, Florida. She and her husband share their home with Teddy.
