Tails Are Not for Pulling / La cola de las mascotas no es para jalarla

Teach kids that teasing animals isn't nice, they can choose to be kind to animals, and it's important to ask before touching someone's pet.

Pets may not have words, but they can communicate. Paying attention to an animal's cuesa joyful bark, a scary growl, a swishing tailcan help a child understand what the animal is "saying" and what an appropriate response might be. That's part of what this English-Spanish bilingual picture book is about. But mostly it's about showing children how to love pets gentlybecause pets are for loving, after all. Kids learn that teasing isn't nice, that they can choose to be kind to animals, and that if you want to touch someone else's pet, there's one important rule you should know: Ask the owner first!

A special section for adults includes ideas for teaching children kindness to animals, activities, and discussion starters in both English and Spanish.
