Rags and Shadow to the Rescue

By A. M. Houston

Rags is a young Bedlington Terrier who loves exploring nature and going on fun adventures. In this tale, you can join Rags and his wise, elder dog friend Shadow on a big adventure in the Bluebell Woods.

As Rags goes for his daily walk, he discovers the wonders of the woods - spotting wildlife like a hawk and deer, as well as helping a gentleman in need. Rags must pay close attention to his guardian’s commands and stick close on his leash, just as children should hold a parent’s hand.

Through vivid illustrations and charming storytelling, Rags models good behaviour for young readers. The book encourages appreciation of nature, rain, or shine. You never know what surprises might be in store when you go exploring!

With helpful life lessons about safety, listening skills and the magic of the outdoors, this is a delightful tale for parents and children to treasure. Happy walking from Rags and his guardian!
