I wholeheartedly recommend this book! Not only is the story charming and delightful, but the important messages it conveys make it a must-read for children of all ages. The themes it explores about positive interactions, what to do and what not to do, and respecting your dog's boundaries are essential for sparking meaningful conversations with young readers.As a contributor to the beautiful illustrations, I am especially proud to support this book, knowing that any profits will be shared equally between Bristol Children's Hospital and Hope Rescue. It's inspiring to see how the book has the potential to foster positive discussions about how we view and treat our four-legged friends but also provides financial support to these incredible charities.This book is truly a win-win—captivating for kids and impactful for the community. I encourage everyone to pick up a copy and support this wonderful cause!

This is a really lovely book with an important message for kids (and adults) about interacting safely with dogs. It’s written in a fun and engaging way with wonderful illustrations and colours. Very happy with the purchase.

A wonderful and straightforward story that effectively conveys its message in a way children can easily understand. The illustrations are engaging and enjoyable, making it even more appealing for young readers.

This is a delightful book for all the family.It works for parents, grandparents or indeed extended family to read with little ones.The message is gentle but clear, on how to interact safely with pets so that all remain safe but content. Such an important message for everyone.The illustrations compliment the text beautifully with cute appealing faces from humans and animals alike.The clear font make this a very suitable book for emergent readers to practice their skills too.This is a wonderful little book to have on your bookshelf and all profits go to two very worthy causes.

Buddy and Tilda is ideal for teaching children how to be with pet animals, particularly young children who are unlikely to understand that animals are not toys to be played with; it has been not only beneficial as far as my grandchildren are concerned but also a book they have enjoyed having read to them.

Buddy and Tilda is such a valuable and important book to share with children. It cleverly teaches them which behaviours can unintentionally scare or frighten a dog and helps them learn how to manage their exuberance when they are in a dog’s company - something that will help to keep everyone safe. I highly recommend it for families, early years settings, and primary classrooms.

This is such a great way to educate children and dog owners. It is beautifully illustrated with a simple to read and understand story line that children will love.

Really enjoyed reading this with my 9 year old son. We don't have a pet, but he loves playing fetch with a family member's dog. The book encouraged conversation on how to care for/ treat dogs and the need to respect them, plus consideration of how our actions might make them feel.Definitely recommended for families who are getting new pets and ones with young children!Well written too.

I ordered 4 of these books to give to the Reception and Year 1 classes at the school where I'm a Governor. They arrived this morning and are lovely! Beautiful pictures and really sensible advice about keeping children safe around dogs.
