Great Ready To Read Book September 4, 2006
Judith Hodges (GA)
My son received this book for his 5th birthday. It is a short book about animals, so it keep his attention. It is also great because it teaches that animals with disabilities should be treated with respect and love which a great lesson to carry over to people. A sweet story with a lesson.
A great story told in simple text. May 8, 2003

I picked up this book to share with my preschool class when we were studying pets. It is filled with good messages, and yet does not come across as being preachy. It begins with Norman being adopted from an animal shelter as an adult dog (great message #1). Eventually they learn Norman is going blind. Of course the family will keep Norman, that is never a question! (great message #2). Their older dog Lucy helps Norman by walking next to him so he doesn't bump into things (#3). Norman loves the beach because there he doesn't have to worry about bumping into things. While there, he rescues a girl struggling in the water (#4). It takes the team of people on the beach plus Norman to get the girl in safely (#5). Norman is the hero! An easy reader or a nice read for younger children. I will definitely be purchasing other books in this series.
