Children's book review: It's Hard to be Good

Ellie is a sweet Wienerdog who tries very hard to be good. But sometimes it is too hard. Her owner, however, praises her when she is good and this makes Ellie feel so good. I love the story, the colorful illustrations and Ellie. The lesson learned in the story is great also. I can see this as an early reader or for parent/child reading time.

I received this book from NetGalley and Smith Publicity in exchange for my honest review.

Children's book review: Good dogs, Great Listeners: The Story of Charlotte, Lily and the Litter

This is a heart-warming book of Charlotte and her love for her dog Lily. Lily becomes injured and has to go to the vet. This causes Charlotte, who is known for her adventures, to slow down and spend quality time reading to Lily.

Charlotte was a 6 year old who was one of the Sandy Hook shooting victims and Charlotte's Litter is an program for therapy dogs in educational settings.

This book, written by her parents JoAnn and Joel Bacon, is a great way to inspire all who read this book. Such a great book to honor a lovely child.
