Paws for safety was a wonderful, well illustrated children’s book that offered many tips, tricks, and helpful information to help kiddos understand how to have healthy, fun, successful relationships with their pets. The author included lots of helpful tips for parents in the back of the book as well. I read this book on my phone with the kindle app and also on my kindle oasis and I can attest that it was so much better to see these pictures in full color rather than the black and white of my oasis.

This is the cutest book on dog safety! Done as a rhyming story this book book goes over multiple interactions a child could face with both a known and unknown dog. Situations like using gentle touch, to respecting a dog’s boundaries by paying attention to their body laungage, to seeing and interacting with dogs out in public this book covers a ton! I absolutely loved the illustrations and the use of poetry form to help kids learn! This was very well written, organized and thought out!

If you have dog-loving kids, then you definitely should get this book! It’s such a fun yet informative read with rhyming you won’t realize you’re gaining knowledge you need. It reminds me of some of my favorite Dr. Seuss books. The colorful illustrations are also amazing and detailed, which only helps the child learn what to do from seeing the pictures. In all truthfulness, this book brought up some things about dogs and safety that I hadn’t even thought of myself. I definitely recommend it!

This book is absolutely amazing! I love that it teaches kids how to properly interact with dogs and keeping everyone as safe as possible. I have one kiddo that is quite shy about approaching animals, and the other is polar opposite, loudly announcing their presence and wanting to play. Both of them were able to sit and read this with me. It really started a conversation about what to do when a dog looks a certain way and how to be respectful of our furry friends. The illustrations are beautifully done with informative graphics. The rhyming in the book really captures the attention of young ones which I find very helpful. I highly recommend having this on hand for any little one in your life because they will come across a pup at some point!

I picked this book because of a personal experience , when my son went to pet a German Shepherd and got bitten .

This book resonates with my experience and first things first , I made my son also read this book. Animals are adorable and it is never their fault when they growl , especially the pets .

There is a way to approach the dogs, first ask the permission of the owner , understand their temperament and then pet the dogs according to how the owner instructs you to do .

In this book , Laura and CJ have two adorable pets , Porter and Midge . This book teaches the kids how to safely engage with the dogs in a very interactive way . I wish there are more such books for kids to engage with the pets .

This is a great book to read to children who are just being introduced to pets. The rhyming style it’s written in is fun and the brightly colored pictures along with appropriately placed RED “X” where there is an action that shouldn’t be done, this book helps a child to learn how to safely handle a dog. I think this is a great book to keep in any little library.

This is our first Porter and Midge book. I really like the idea of the series, being inspired by the authors dogs and teaching kids dog safety. A lot of dog breeds were represented, and the illustrations were wonderful. We learned some new things and reinforced other lessons. Paws for Safety had a lot of good conversation starters for me and my 7 year old. We liked that the book was rhyming, but some felt a bit forced. I think his favorite was the picture of the dog poop, because, boys…. I like that it addressed a lot of common topics, and explained why children should approach with care, ask for permission, etc. I look forward to checking out the others in the series.

I loved this book so much! Yes, I bought it for my kiddos (8 & 11), but I also really enjoyed it. I love books that are entertaining, but also a learning experience as well. This book teaches you a TON of safety guides when it comes to dogs. The book follows CJ and Lora’s safety tips with their dogs, Porter who is a Mastiff and Midge who is a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. They explain different ways to care for your pet dog and how to interact with other people’s dogs. Throughout the book you get to see many types of dogs and how to be safe with them all. The illustrations are super cute and the information in the book on dog safety is really great. I even learned a few things! Such a great book for kids. Learning how to act around dogs is something everyone should, not just kids! I can’t wait to read the next books: The Puppy Adventures of Porter and Midge: Out and About & The Puppy Adventures of Porter and Midge: Paws at Attention. If you are thinking of getting a dog for yourself or your child(ren) these books are GREAT for learning!! They ALL teach you different things- from safety, socialization, training, and focus.

This is a lovely illustrated book about children and dog safety. The text reads in a poetic form with words rhyming that reminds me of Dr. Seuss. It gives sound advice for children to follow when interacting with their own dogs or one they don’t know. The book prioritizes safety with dogs for young children and the side can be used with any animal.

I really liked the artwork, it was very colorful. It caught and kept the attention of my little one🥰. Definitely going to be buying my nieces and nephews copies so they can also learn from this information. We are a family of dog lovers here ❤️ looking forward to reading more from these amazing authors.

Porter and Midge (Porter and Midge Children’s Book Series) by Jennie Chen and Giselle Nevada. This is such a great book for anyone with young children. Its great if you don’t have dogs but if you are in the market for getting a dog its a must read. It teaches kids how to approach a dog, how to read its body signals and much more. Porter and Midge are two dogs who live with their owners CJ and Lora. CJ & Lora want everyone to feel safe around dogs so they go around teaching people about dogs and dog safety. They teach kids that they are a huge responsibility so ownership is not to be taken lightly. This book is a must for families because whether or not you own a dog you are going to come across dogs some point in your life and these valuable lessons can save a lot of harm.

What a lovely book and so, so important in my opinion! Working in animal rescue it is so important for us that children are able and know how to be safe around dogs and know how to interact appropriately with them so I love that this story focuses on that and is told in such a way that is easy for children to understand and hopefully be able to relate to. There is a really important message behind this story and the author address it really well.
I think this story definitely has a place in children’s libraries!

This book is great for young children who are just learning how to approach and be around dogs other than their own family pets. This book is written in rhyme, which makes it super fun for kids and adults alike. Porter and Midge are two dogs who meet up at the dog park with their humans. This duo are always happy to help other humans at the dog park to safely play with dog, rather it be their own pets or Porter and Midge. This book goes over things like not pulling on or hitting dogs, giving dogs their space, and even more topics like taking dogs for walks and approaching strange new dogs safely. This book could definitely be a good resource for young children who have either never had a pet, or have only ever been around their own family pets before they are around strange new dogs. I would recommend it for younger elementary school age kids, though really any child from toddlers up to late elementary would enjoy and learn from it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a fun rhyming book with cute illustrations. My sons found the rhymes fun but were confused by some of the “rules” listed in the book and I too was concerned. While most of the book was filled with amazing advice, three things stuck out to me the most. 1-2. It says no head pats, to rub the dog’s chest and stomach. Every dog I have ever encountered loves head rubs and pats, and often gets defensive over chest and belly rubs, especially if someone else’s dog. 3. It states that when wanting to pet a stranger’s dog to ask, yes always. But then it illustrates the little girl just calmly walking up to the dog. When someone is approaching a stranger’s dog after being granted permission to pet them, they need to yes, no sudden movements and approach calmly but also, they need to hold out their hand palm side down and slowly approach to allow the dog a chance to smell them to greet them. Once again, I did enjoy the book but just felt that some very important things were either overlooked or misleading.

Porter and Midge is a super cute children’s book that teaches children how to be dafe around dogs and how to safely handle them. My son loves dogs and loves to pet every dog he sees. He learned to always ask permission first and always approach slowly He’s also learned there are several different types of dogs that have different jobs like being service animal for vets. He loved this book and all the illustrations. This is a great book for children of any age. I love that its educational and my son is already saying he wants more porter and midge. I highly recommend reading this cute children’s book. We can’t wait to read more from this Author.

The book was full of different behaviors a dog might have and how a child should respond to the behavior. I think many families that are considering getting a dog for their kids will enjoy this book and it will definitely help their kids learn how to interact and understand the new dog.
