Madame Cat - Tapa dura

"Richard Dow has brought to life a fun way of teaching young children about responsibility. An amusing story, creative illustrations, and entertaining activities reinforce the moral of putting away one's toys. This book is a wonderful addition to my therapeutic playroom!" -Katrina Colwick, MA, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), play therapist "Messy rooms, toys left astray ... these are things that childhood is made of. Stories are a great way for children to find solutions for accomplishing their own tasks and duties. In this story, Richard Dow takes a common problem and adds magical life to it in a way that children can comprehend." -Melissa Herring, BS, Music Therapist - Board Certified (MT-BC) "Madame Cat tells the story of a simple yet necessary task, fulfilling our call to love, nurture, and work together while giving creative and Godly guidance to our young people. Madame Cat is sure to be the first in a series of books that will help parents direct the lives of their children. As the adult who loves their children enough to sit and read to them, enjoy some bonding time along with the mysterious Madame Cat." ­-Rev. Victoria L. Hamilton, co-pastor, St. John's Lutheran Church (ELCA) "Madame Cat is a fun and entertaining way to help children become aware of personal responsibility. As an educator, I value Reverend Dow's message and recognize that parents need as many tools as possible in their child-rearing toolboxes. This book is a valuable addition." -Penelope N. Howell, EdM, 30 years' experience as an administrator and teacher of students from preschool to adults
