Reviews of Bubba Tails by Patricia L. Fletcher
Bubba Tails is a fun way to educate children and the young at heart about guide dogs. King Campbell tells his story in a way all can understand. The book includes information about The Seeing Eye, so parents and other adults can learn more about their work and how they can help. The last story in the book, “Wish of the Wee Golden One,” could be made into an animated Christmas film. I strongly encourage people of all ages to read this book for entertainment and enlightenment.
What a beautiful story! It's well told, and is a fun way to teach children - and adults too - about guide dogs, and the wonderful work they do.
