Madeline finn and the library dog - lisa papp

Madeline Finn does NOT like to read.

But she DOES want a gold star from her teacher.

But, stars are for good readers.

Stars are for understanding words, and for saying them out loud.

Fortunately, Madeline Finn meets Bonnie, a library dog.

Reading out loud to Bonnie isnt so bad; when Madeline Finn gets stuck, Bonnie doesnt mind.

As it turns out, its fun to read when youre not afraid of making mistakes.

Bonnie teaches Madeline Finn that its okay to go slow.

And to keep trying.

With endearing illustrations, Lisa Papp brings an inspiring and comforting book to all new readers who just need a little confidence to overcome their fears.
