Jake the Growling Dog (Beginning Reader Edition): The Gentle, Loving Tale of Kindness, Friendship and Diversity for Beginning Readers by Samantha Shannon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sweet story for kids. Beautiful illustrations and even more beautiful message. My son & grandson enjoyed me reading the book to them. Jake is a dog who is often misunderstood, as he is always growling. People think that he is mad, but he really is not—growling just happens for him, even when he is happy. This book outlines to the reader the importance of being thankful & expressing gratitude, as well as being kind to others and even goes as far as suggesting a list of ways to demonstrate each of those attributes.
