Free (nook/Kindle/Kobo/iTunes) Poco a Poco [Children's Heartwarming Animal Tale]

[ATDrake]

Poco a Poco: A CritterKin Tale by Jena Ball is a heartwarming animal story for kids with educational themes about treating them well, free courtesy of publisher HarperCollins' Joe Books imprint.

I must confess that I love heartwarming animal stories. Especially the ones involving drunken moose*.

Currently free @ B&N, Amazon & Kobo & iTunes (all available to Canadians).

Description
Based on true events, Poco a Poco is the tale of how a mother dog and her puppy find their forever homes after being abandoned at the local garbage dump. At the dump, they are befriended by an unlikely group of characters, and learn that friendship and love are possible even in the most difficult situations.

Designed to encourage empathy, compassion and respect, Poco a Poco offers children an entertaining look at another way of life, and is sure to provoke creative, eye-opening discussions.

* Sadly, Aftenposten no longer maintains an english-language section and has gone over to a pay-access archive, otherwise I'd link you to their many hilariously deadpan articles of inadvertent encounters with drunken ungulates over the years in Norway.
