Reader Reviews, by kids, for kids

Posted by Barbara Techel

To me there is nothing better than a child (or two) reading my books and loving them!  Two, sweet young girls, Madeline, age 8.5 and Sophia, age 7 reviewed Frankie, the Walk 'N Roll Therapy Dog Visits Libby's House.  They are both home schooled and writing reviews is part of their curriculum.  I think that is just awesome!  What better way to teach your kids to be great readers!

So Madeline starts off with:

This is a true story about Frankie the walk 'n roll dog becoming a therapy dog. Frankie visits nursing homes to make the older people feel better. Every time Frankie visits, the older people love it! Frankie’s mom is very proud that Frankie is a therapy dog.  To read full review, as well as Sophia's review please click here.

Thank you Madeline and Sophia- your reviews are priceless and they mean the world to me and Frankie!!

Who’s Your Dachshund’s Account of Frankie’s Visit with Bicentennial School

To use technology in a way that will serve to share my message to help children around the world has been a dream of mine… which is taking hold and growing!  I’m so excited!  Recently Frankie and I visited Mr. Wade’s first grade class in eastern Canada via video conferencing.  Mr. Wade’s partner, Ben was in the room during the fun event and hared his take of the experience on his very popular Who’s Your Dachshund blog…

“A few weeks ago I shed tears in a classroom full of first graders. Yup. Six-year-olds watched me cry. It was a proud moment. You see, Calvin and Theo’s other dad is a teacher who through the magic of technology was able to host Barb and Frankie the Walk N Roll Dogfor an in-class (ish) presentation through vidoe conferencing.”  Click here to read more!
