Olive

This simple story, told in rhyme with delightful illustrations is easily relatable to young children and would be a perfect book when exploring worries and fears.

When Olive is left at the Little Paws dog hotel for the first time, she feels anxious to be parted from her owners. However, through reassurance from Pebble and some of the other dogs, she is able to feel at ease and relax. This simple story, told in rhyme with delightful illustrations is easily relatable to young children and would be a perfect book for a teacher to share with his/her class when exploring worries and fears. The 'Paws for a Moment' section at the end of the book contains questions to further discussion.

Told in rhyme, it's a charming book for anytime. Some ideas at the end for discussion are useful too.

A story of Olive the dog who is sent to stay in a strange place with other dogs for a day. She is very scared but finds that the other dogs help her through it and reassure her that she will be ok. She learns that it's normal to feel scared in these situations and asking for help and talking about your fears is the best way to deal with it. A simple, short story that will help young children cope with scary situations, and shows them that talking about their fears will help them. Told in rhyme, it's a charming book for anytime. Some ideas at the end for discussion are useful too.
