Synopsis

Introducing Bamboo, a timid pup who doesn't have all the confidence in the world, but does have some of the longest ears! Most of the time, he just wants to be like his brother and sister. They have short ears. They also go outside each day but Bamboo is a little too afraid to tag along. He, and his ears, will have a chance to come through when his family needs him the most. Adorable illustrations highlight the personality of Bamboo and his family throughout the story. Great for early readers and those who love dogs! 

About this title

From the Author

This book was inspired by my dog, Piper. She's a beagle with the characteristically long hound ears. You'll see in The Brave Bamboo, about half way through, Bamboo describes his mom's ears and that's how he's able to detect what it would be like to go outside (At this point in the story, he's afraid to go outside). Piper, my dog, is a lot like Bamboo's mom. Her ears often show me what it's like outside. She'll come in the back door and her ears are cold, or wet, or muddy. I don't even need to go outside to discover what it's like out there, and neither does Bamboo! That is, until his family needs his help. Bamboo is a cute little guy, and I hope you enjoy his story!

From the Back Cover
