Synopsis
Have siblings or school friends been having trouble getting along? Or is there a new member or pet in the family?
Join loveable dogs, Ginormous Jo and little Tom, as a new member of the family is adopted, a ginger kitten.
Vinnie is a very mischievous and curious kitten. He gets into everything. Tom, is annoyed and unhappy with the new addition. Vinnie follows him around, making all sorts of big messes. What are they going to do with this new kitten?
Faced with having to take charge of Vinnie, the dogs start to help and manage his adventures. Watching out for him, they learn to accept that family means to look after each other and being older comes with responsibility.
This is a great picture book for helping children understand additions to the classroom or family, whether they are pets or a new baby. Children will learn how to be responsible for the new member and that looking out for someone else is not only kind, but a new sort of responsibility, that can be fun.
This Book 5 of The Ginormous Series will make a great addition to any parenting library or in the classroom.
ABOUT S C CUNNINGHAM
Owned by 3 dogs and a cat, Cunningham normally writes suspense thrillers. As respite from her crime novels, she creates children's picture books, each with a theme to gently teach our precious young, and help start thought-provoking conversations between adult and child. The Ginormous Series is based on Cunningham's beloved family pets – Joe, Muttley, Dali (Jo), Tom and Vinnie.
