Beautiful
“A beautiful story for children to let them know how animals are emphatic with the pain of other beings. A good … night story so the children can go to sleep with a big smile on their little faces.” - Maria Real

Warm and Sweet
“Children's book with good messages. Karl Beckstrand writes children's books with heart. This warm and sweet story about the author's actual pet, describes how his dog, having been injured by another dog, no longer wants to be around other dogs. Yet, when the family finds and cares for a lost and injured pet whose owner is not known, Muffy becomes a caring and compassionate animal. This book is a good lesson for children to learn from. The illustrations are made by Brandon Rodriguez and just looking at the cover shows the pain that German Shepard is feeling. We lost a dog in a similar fashion and it was hard for my kids to understand everything. This book will help children understand some things that occur in life that are hard to cope with. I received a free ebook version of this children's store from the author. All thoughts are my own.” - Sonja Nishimoto
