Madeline Finn and the Library Dog Paperback – Picture Book, March 3, 2020
Purchase options and add-ons
Madeline Finn does NOT like to read. But she DOES want a gold star from her teacher. Except stars are for good readers, for understanding words, and for saying them out loud—things that Madeline Finn doesn't believe she can do.
Fortunately, Madeline Finn finds a little help when she meets Bonnie, a library dog. Reading out loud to Bonnie isn't so bad, and when Madeline Finn gets stuck, Bonnie doesn't mind. As it turns out, it's fun to read when you're not afraid of making mistakes. Bonnie teaches Madeline Finn that it's okay to go slow—and, most importantly, to keep trying.
Lisa Papp offers an inspiring and comforting story, perfect for new readers who just need a little confidence to overcome their fears.

About the author
Lisa Papp was inspired by her local library's "Read-to-Dogs" program. "These former shelter dogs are now spending their lives helping children. It's a beautiful thing to watch." Many of the dogs featured in the book were once living a life on the streets or in shelters. Lisa spent the better part of a year following these wonderful dogs and their dedicated owners. "What a gift they are to our communities, I hope this story brings light to these beautiful programs." Madeline Finn and the Library Dog has raised money for local animal groups and Lisa hopes that will continue. "It's a privilege to share this book with children and share the stories of these wonderful therapy dog teams."
Lisa Papp enjoys bringing characters to life, both in words and pictures. MADELINE FINN AND THE LIBRARY DOG, which she wrote and illustrated, won the 2017 Children's Choice Book of the Year Award, received a Parent's Choice Recommended Award, and has been translated into 22 languages. THE TOWN THAT FOOLED THE BRITISH - A WAR OF 1812 STORY, written by Lisa and illustrated by her husband, Robert, was a 2011 National Parenting Publications Award (NAPPA) Honor Winner, and a 2012 Storytelling Award Winner.

This book is a story of a student who struggles. Madeline wants a Star sticker; not another Keep Trying sticker. She is feeling that she won't ever be able to reach the goals set by the teacher. Until she meets a library dog who patiently waits for her to sound out words, doesn't laugh when she makes a mistake and just breathes calmly side by side.
We checked this book out of the library and enjoyed it enough to purchase for multiple households with readers of all abilities.
