Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 1–5—Kizzy is a therapy dog, and this picture book begins with a television camera crew arriving at his owner's house to follow the pup on a day's work as a R.E.A.D. (Reading Education Assistance Dog). Kizzy enters classrooms, the home of an elderly stroke victim, a speech-therapy clinic, and a facility for troubled teens, spreading encouragement and hope, and helping all of the individuals he meets practice reading and speaking. A brief explanation of the R.E.A.D. program follows the story. The writing is clear, simple, and accessible to beginning and older reluctant readers. The average-quality artwork is done in charcoal with little color (shades of blue, and black on white). The facial expressions are well drawn and Kizzy is sure to strike a chord with children. A serviceable addition.—Bobbee Pennington, Bryan Public Library, TX

Product Description
Spend the day with Kizzy, a Reading Assistance Education Dog. Kizzy visits children and adults in different settings, and they read him stories. The idea is to give young children or recovering stroke victims, among others, reading confidence by offering a non judgmental canine ear.
