Best-selling author Frank Viscuso (Step Up and Lead) and renowned artist and author Paul Combs (Drawn by Fire) have teamed up again to bring you Sprinkles the Fire Dog 2: Making a Difference, the second book of the popular series about the little puppy from a big city who achieved his dream of becoming a fire dog. Ever since becoming a fire dog, Sprinkles has enjoyed helping others. In part 2 of his journey, Sprinkles heads back into the dark, lonely city to find and help another dog in need. This entertaining story will inspire children to pursue their dreams, overcome adversity, fight for what they believe in, be kind, and help others along the way.

"Children will love the story for its charm and rollicking fun, and the salient points will make a lasting impression. A top choice for Fire Prevention Week." — School Library Journal Stop! Drop! Roll! Learning the rules of fire safety is a lot more fun (and less scary) when demonstrated by a charming and diverse group of animals. Alligator, Panda, Octopus, and the others work hard to master the rules of fire safety and perform the perfect fire drill, but thinking about fire is a bit nerve-wracking, and each of them reacts differently — often with hilarious results. Sprinkled with fascinating facts about animal behavior, this second story about the characters in Miss Mingo’s one-of-a-kind class is sure to appeal to readers of all stripes.

Dogs have been mankind's faithful companions for tens of thousands of years, yet today they are regularly treated as either pack-following wolves or furry humans. The truth is, dogs are neither -- and our misunderstanding has put them in serious crisis. What dogs really need is a spokesperson, someone who will assert their specific needs. Renowned anthrozoologist Dr. John Bradshaw has made a career of studying human-animal interactions, and in Dog Sense he uses the latest scientific research to show how humans can live in harmony with -- not just dominion over -- their four-legged friends. From explaining why positive reinforcement is a more effective (and less damaging) way to control dogs' behavior than punishment to demonstrating the importance of weighing a dog's unique personality against stereotypes about its breed, Bradshaw offers extraordinary insight into the question of how we really ought to treat our dogs.
