"Jumpy, the Story of a Scared Puppy," is the picture book story of a puppy who is very often scared and afraid of loud noises, strange people, and new experiences. He jumps and runs under his bed as fast as a bullet. Well, almost that fast.

One day his friend, Mr. Turtle, shows up and explains how he remains so calm and confident in scary and stressful situations. How does Jumpy react to Mr. Turtle's advice? Is his fear diminished and his confidence ramped up?

All is revealed in these short and easy "Read-along" pages with colorful and fanciful pictures that young kids, parents, and grandparents will enjoy — particularly if they have a love of animals and nature. There's a dash of humor thrown in, too!
