Loading... Madeline Finn and the Therapy Dogby Lisa Papp
![]() None No current Talk conversations about this book. Some picture books just make an adult tear up and this one did it for me. Madeline Finn is a little girl training her dog to be a therapy specialist. But there is one man at the nursing home that will take a bit extra to make you smile. This is a lovely tale and the illustrations match. There is a bit of diversity in the characters, but not much. no reviews | add a review
Madeline Finn hopes Star can become a therapy dog. But first he needs to pass his test. They have been practicing all the skills he needs to master. They practice meeting people. They practice sitting still when a bike goes by. They even practice meeting other dogs. Now Madeline Finn and Star are off to Walker Oaks, a retirement community where Star will take his tests. They face a variety of challenges and meet several new friends. But Madeline Finn can't stop thinking about an elderly man in a wheelchair, who never smiles. Is there something she and Star can do to help Mr. Humphrey? No library descriptions found. |

This is the perfect picture book to introduce one great resource for mental and physical health. It's got incredible illustrations and a wonderful story to share with children. Watching Star go help people was absolutely beautiful and made me tear up a bit. It's such an important story to share!
Four out of five stars.
