#grannysallyrecommends 

Carys and I volunteered with a dog behaviourist for a couple of years. In that time we learned a lot about how to support Pippin; a lot about animal behaviour and an awful lot about human behaviour! One big contradiction became apparent. Many humans think they are the most intelligent, superior beings on the planet and dogs and other animals unintelligent in comparison. However, puppies are expected to arrive fully trained without any input from their humans! Although they cannot speak human, all animals including dogs and cats do communicate and we owe it to them to learn their language. 

My family is full of animal lovers and the arrival of our beautiful grandaughter has started us thinking about how she will interact with the animals in our lives; how to keep them all safe and happy. Fortunately, I found these absolutely wonderful board books. Both guide children through rhymes and beautiful illustrations to understand the body language of animals - cats and puppies. Swipe for some photos. There are 2 pages at the back of each book with ‘golden rules’ about meeting dogs and puppies, cats and kittens. These lists are full of brilliant advice to inform encounters of the pet kind! The author, Dr Jess French is a vet, zoologist and author and I think that these books are really important. 

I have heard some awful stories recently about dogs and young children being unsupervised. A dog bite is a devastating thing for any family to deal with and for a dog it can be a death sentence.

I am gathering together a little library for my grandchild (children) and will share some of the books which I add to it on my page. Any book which is added to the library will be awarded a #grannysallyrecommends award. These are the first books to receive my award! 

Who would you like to curate a library for?
