This is a wonderful tool for families who have dogs or are considering getting one. Tim Young offers advice, instruction and good doggie fun in this book and accompanying CD. His "Tuneful Tips for Tots and 'Spots'" will surely be a hit with the younger set, and entertaining for any dog lover.

In eleven original songs, and narration by "Murphy", a Boston Terrier with an English accent, the CD captures the listener's attention with lighthearted humor and toe tapping music, while enlightening on such topics as: What to do about strange dogs, hot and cold weather, traveling pups, chow time and trips to the vet. The colorful, high quality book offers the lyrics to the songs in order for young readers to learn them well, and a section in the back for parents with tips regarding each of the song's topics, fun facts, warnings and statistics, and a health record. At the end of the CD there is a brief "quiz" regarding the important information. If your kids aren't screaming out the answers, they are instructed to listen to the music again.

This book should be mandatory reading for anyone adopting a dog, and never before has mandatory reading been so fun. Kids, ages 3 - 10 will enjoy learning about doggie behavior with this book almost as much as playing with the puppy itself. Teachers, day care providers and library story time tellers will love this book and CD, and so will dogs everywhere.

This is a great book for my kids because they are afraid of dags. This has helped ease their fear. I am just waiting for another safety book for the kids.... The music makes it...Lets have another book, Tim...

We listen to this cd all the time. We listen to it in the car as well. It is so easy for the kids to remember the words and learn something important as well. I love it because it is so positive and uplifting and sometimes my kids and I will spontaneously break out into one of the songs and we have so much fun. I highly recommend this to all my friends and hope everyone will get this wonderful book for their kids.

Mr. Young is really onto something! This book and CD with original songs is fresh, witty, practical, and a complete hit with my 11 year old daughter Emily and her friends. Murphy is a HOOT! We can't wait for the next book in the series.

My kids loved this book! They can't stop singing the songs. This is a really cute way to send an important message about dog safety and kids. Would be great for classroom use.

This is an incredible book, the artwork and music is wonderful and the message on how to properly care for your little pup is very helpful.
I'm a proud parent of a 8 month little boy and he loves to listen
to the music as my wife and I sing along with Murphy.

I recommend this book to all the proud parents of the world!

Funny and educational wrapped up nicely in a book and CD. Anyone getting a pet dog should read this book first. The book contains all the words to the songs. It teaches children about canine safety in a fun way.

How many times have you seen a young child run up to a strange dog? Because children learn better through repetition and rhyme, singing songs about how to act and react to a dog is a smart idea! This clever book will have children knowledgeable about canine safety after one sitting! www.weeonesmag.com

This is a very fun way to share important lessons about dog safety! Too many times parents purchase a new pet without teaching their children how to care for those pets. This book and music combination offers great advice; fun, danceable songs; catchy tunes; and a short, but detailed tip sheet for parents.
