Editorial Reviews

Review

"Even if A Puppy's New Home imparted just the basics of humane education, teaching kids boundaries, dog bite prevention, or what to expect from certain breeds and mixes to help families select the right 'fit' for their home and prevent 'shelter returns' I'd be sold on supporting this project...
...But they've shared their plans to delve deeper into nuanced material that has 'crossover appeal' with human life lessons.
From PTSD topics and bullying scenarios to 'don't touch my muzzle' life lessons which could easily apply to adverse childhood experiences (and flip the script on ACES) "kidlit" that uses dogs as a device to impart touchier subjects would appeal to early childhood educators and psychologists FAR beyond the basic books about being a critter companion..." - Amy Jussel, ShapingYouth.org

From an early age, I began caring for numerous shelter pets and continued into adulthood. Helping dogs and people in need has always been important to me. I earned a BA in American literature and a MA in public administration while working with at-risk youth for a Nebraska non-profit, Completely KIDS, in after-school and children's enrichment capacities. I now live in Berkeley, California researching, writing, and continuing to help animals and kids have brighter futures.

*Update: Any customer who purchased the book, "The Kid's Guide to Bella the Bichon Frise," prior to July 29, 2014 should email me if they are interested in obtaining the new edition.

I am the author of a series of educational children's books that teach youth how to care for specific canine breeds retrieved from expert research.

Breeds interact with youth in each book to help them understand specific breed behavior, health management, and their origins. Books include other academic components: alphabet, numbers, vocabulary, geography, history, character counts, and the importance of community and service learning.

If you are interested in receiving a copy of my book for free to review, please email me at a.j.richardsbooks@gmail.com

A Puppy's New Home book series teaches kids how to care for their specific breed through interaction, helping them to understand specific breed behavior, health management, and their origins. Uniquely, our books also focus on social and emotional development for early childhood learners to adults and every age in between.

Our goal is to help decrease the number of dogs that end up without homes because families were not prepared to take care of their new pet. Coming Soon! "The Kid's Guide to Finn the Rescue Dog."

    Darling fun book not just for kids but the whole family. I learned much about how to care for Louie. Great learning tool for kids and the illustrations were out of this world! It is so important to provide a pet moral compose for our children and this well written, beautifully illustrated book does just that. Keep writing and drawing, you guy's are doing great service for our pets and children.

    Fabulous guide to dog-owning for a young child. My kiddo has been watching over my shoulder as I read dog training books before our puppy comes homes. This gives her clear ideas and instructions on how to be a good dog owner.

    The kid's guide to Louie the labrador retriever by Richards is a delightful story on how to look after a puppy. Having dogs of my own, I have lots of experience though I did learn something - kneel sideways to a puppy. The illustrations by Rayah Jaymes fit the story very well. If this is going international, then may I suggest you add a page for the rest of the world.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2015
    Louie the Labrador was born in Newfoundland, Canada. He has a mom & dad & cousins.
    They also have an amazing remarkable purpose in life.

    Everyone who can take care of a pet deserves one.

    I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.

    A very awesome book cover, lots of excellent story pictures, great font & writing style. A delightful very well written fun-filled informative children’s dog book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. I’m pretty sure since my granddaughters now have a dog even my 4 year old with a little help from big sister would love this book. A very easy rating of 5 stars.

    Thank you for the free book (Goodreads; PDF, URC)
