Celebrate National Pet Week with our favorite furry friends! Practice your reading skills by reading aloud to our doggie pals. Bring a book from home or read one of ours!

 Young readers can practice their skills by reading to a dog and earning a sticker. We have some paw-some dogs who just love to listen to good books!

Our dog friends come from Gold Star Dog Training in Medina, Oh.  Learn about therapy dogs and what they do by browsing our collection of materials here.
