CANINE KINDNESS CHAMPS

Emily I. Hoffman · 2023
65/100
👎 Skip It

The anti-bullying mission is clear and the canine protagonists are a smart choice for making a heavy topic approachable for 6–10 year olds. The ten-chapter structure covering cyberbullying, gossip, and exclusion is genuinely useful for classroom or home use. As a self-published title from Outskirts Press with limited editorial vetting and no major critical reviews, though, it is hard to place it above the threshold without stronger independent validation.
