Good Reads:
As a pet visitation therapy dog, Tavish visited several libraries where children read to him to build their confidence and literacy skills. He heard and saw a LOT of children’s books. And because Team Tavish heard them too, we’ve compiled a list of several that appeal to the Intrepid Pup mindset and are charmingly written and beautifully illustrated…in other words, storybooks we don’t mind listening to time and time again:
