Do you have a child that has trouble talking to people? Or expressing their feelings?

Ginormous Joe's Annoying Friend is a story about dogs with the problem of communicating their feelings, and how they solve it together. The Tuttles enjoy walking their dog, Ginormous Joe. But one day, they bring home a new friend, another dog named Mo. Joe and Mo don't seem to hit it off. She is always ignoring him and not wanting to play.

One day, Joe realizes that all he needed to do was reach out and talk. This gave Mo a chance to tell him why she never would play with him. She was shy. The awkwardness between them evaporates, and they become friends, all from finally being brave enough to tell each other their feelings.

This is a great book to show children how to communicate to solve their problems and work through their feelings.

Ginormous Jo's Welcoming Arms

Through The Ginormous Series children learn how to communicate their problems and work through their feelings. These picture books are a loving, cuddly, engaging collection of children's books showing pets discussing their 'life handling' problems and how they solve them together. 

A great addition to any child's home collection or teacher's read-aloud library. Encouraging thought-provoking conversation between adult and child.

In Ginormous Jo's Secret S C Cunningham explains the very link between listening and learning. Though the huge, white, huggable dog called Jo wasn't sure at first when her mum brought home a cuddly little kitten called Vinnie, she grew to love him with time. Vinnie was loving, playful and made her laugh a lot.

Because Jo didn't want Vinnie behaving like their noisy, shouty, and greedy neighbours, she introduces him to "Liswat," telling him the great importance of listening and learning from others and the very secret behind her being a clever dog.

Does Vinnie now know the meaning of "Liswat?"
