Grover McBane, Rescue Dog are a range of children’s fiction that were inspired by a real life rescue dog!
The books centre around a Border Collie dog named Grover McBane; who lives at Cavendish Lane. Everyday he helps out at the animal shelter where his owner Annie works. They meet lots of animals along the way and some even live with them in foster care at Cavendish Lane, before they find their very own forever home!
The range of novels have beautifully detailed illustrations that capture every moment and feeling; the story-lines bring together some important social attributes; Sharing, Patience, Being Kind To One Another and Anti-Bullying. By purchasing these books you will also be supporting the work of the Sydney Dogs and Cats Home.
Yes, I read the books and LOVED them! But since I am a grown up, let’s hear what avid book reader Justin thought:
I Really Loved How They Found Forever Homes!
I thought the funniest bit was when Grover went back to visit Squeak and Squeak pushed him into the pool! My favourite part was when Stretch hid Grovers most favourite toy; it was nice that he told Grover where he hid them though. But most of all I loved how all the animals find forever homes. Justin, 7 Years Old.
