Waggin' Tales is an enchanting story that was written from the narrative perspective of the authors' yellow Labrador Retriever, Julie. Contemporary youths and puppies share similar attitudes in learning and growing up, since they both may face non-traditional family environments, resistance to rules, the loss of loved ones, the injustice of discrimination, and the values of fun AND work. This wonderful story, set in the context of a new puppy learning to get along in her new home, demonstrates positive approaches to many of life's growing pains. Skill-building reading retention and grammar exercises can be found at the end of each chapter. Every child's learning curve is different, therefore a section of vocabulary is included in the back of the book as well.

Like their human friends, dogs come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Some are smart, like Ma-Buku, a five-pound Chihuahua who squeaks her toy in perfect time with her owners drums. Some refuse to adhere to dog clichés, like four-year-old Elmer, who loves to chase a tennis ball but refuses to pick it up and bring it back, or six-year-old Barnabas, who can’t be bothered to chase cats but will bark vehemently at the wind. There are pretty dogs, heroic dogs, and dogs that are loyal, intuitive, or just plain strange, like Bocci, who goes into a trance when his owner’s pager goes off, and can only be "reset" by being picked up and put back down again. All make an appearance in this delightful collection of stories. Submitted by hundreds of real dog owners, these true tales of mutual love and loyalty affirm that there’s no better friend than a dog.
