Biographical note
American author and illustrator Lisa Papp was inspired by her local library's "Read-to-Dogs" program. Most of the dogs featured in the book were once living a life on the streets or in shelters. "These former shelter dogs are now spending their lives helping children. It's a beautiful thing to watch."<p>Every page of this story deserves to be lingered over. The illustrations in warm, pastel shades radiate gentleness and care… the contrast in the expressions and body language of the caged animals on Madeline’s first visit to the shelter compared to the day when the shelter fills with children and books and blankets is heart-meltingly glorious… The characters and storytelling resonate with the same kindness, wisdom and observation of the joyful details of everyday life as Shirley Hughes' <em>Alfie</em> books. I highly recommend <em>Madeline Finn and the Rescue Dog</em> as a gift for any young child of your acquaintance, for every nursery and early years and Key Stage 1 classroom.</p>
