In this week’s storytime adventure, we are reading about a little dog with a lot to say! Brody is a happy, friendly pup who loves to bark. He barks when he’s excited, he barks when he’s bored, and—well—he just barks a lot. But when his constant barking catches up with him and he loses his voice, Brody learns that sometimes, silence can speak volumes—and that our voices are most powerful when we use them with care.
Brody Barks A Lot is part of the delightful “Bro-Peep” series, by author Linda Denning!
