Hey Dog! Let's Talk! by Wendy Keefer

Hey Dog! Let's Talk is a beautifully illustrated children's guide to understanding dogs and learning to communicate with them in a way they will understand. Written with ages 4-7 in mind it is intended to be read with parents to stimulate discussion. It is the author's hope that parents will encourage their children to practice the communication techniques with the dogs around them and that this in turn will help to reduce the number of avoidable dog bites that are sadly on the increase. The knowledge gained from this book is not only important for children wishing to develop safe relationships with their family dogs, but it can be invaluable to those who are frightened or otherwise don't want to interact with dogs at all.

"This book needs to be on the National Curriculum and taught in every primary school in the countryThe UK dog population stands at around 8.5 million, 1 in 4 families have a dog and most of these dogs are much loved members of the family... Hey Dog cleverly achieves the rare combination of clear and concise messaging presented around interesting, light-hearted and funny stories. Kids will love reading this book and their adults will too." - Dr Robert Falconer-Taylor, Veterinary Director and Head of Education at COAPE
