Reviews from parents, teachers and veterinarians:

  • Your BE SAFE book is a real hit in our class. The children love the color photos and the text just flows so naturally.
  • Thank you for sharing this safety book. My children enjoy reading it at the vet’s office.
  • “BE SAFE WITH RUDY AND HIS FRIENDS” makes it so easy to talk to children about the way they should behave around dogs.
  • My kids loved the pictures.
  • “Rudy’s Friends” is just a wonderful educational tool for our children.
  • My 7 year old thought writing book reports was so much fun with these books.
  • My 80 year old mother enjoyed the books for Mother’s Day. She loves dogs and the print was large enough for her to see.
  • Our 3 year old grandson knows all of the dog’s names and likes to answer the questions.
  • Your stories are extremely creative and lots of fun for everyone
  • We liked the questions in the books.
