Destiny’s grandmother has a dog, Murphy, who is the slowest dog in the world. At least, Destiny thinks so. She has lots of energy so does things like running or playing really fast.
Destiny thinks Murphy is as slow as a turtle. Little ones who do things quickly will identify with Destiny. Because Murphy doesn’t go fast, he sees things such as a squirrel climbing a tree, or a caterpillar on a rock.
Little ones who do things quickly will identify with Destiny. This book, will show children the value of slowing down, and some of the things they will see by going slower. A good idea for youngsters living in this fast-paced world. The tale also teaches that the differences in others can be good, too. This story is based on a real-life rescue dog. Children aged three through seven will enjoy this five-star book!
