Out and About with Sully
A Paws Academy Junior colouring and activity book for children aged 4 to 10
The first walks, car rides and café trips shape how a puppy feels about the world for years. Children are usually right there for all of it, excited, chatty and keen to hold the lead.
Out and About with Sully gives them a real part to play. Across 16 lessons, Sully visits the park, the vet's and the café, and every lesson has an easy page to read together and a big picture to colour. The grown-up keeps the lead; the children pack the walk bag, spot the sights and help puppy stay calm.
I see so many puppies who were rushed into the world too fast, with too many hellos and too much noise. Children can help get those first trips right, and this book shows them how.
What's inside
16 lessons in three parts: ready for adventures, out and about, and meeting the world
A big colouring page for every lesson, with girls and boys all the way through
Ready for adventures: the big wide world, collar, harness and lead, the walk bag, slow sniffy walks and watching from a bench
Out and about: walking nicely, busy roads, the park, the vet's, car trips and the café
Meeting the world: other dogs, new people, strange things, picking up after puppy and home time
Five of every puzzle: mazes, word searches, jumbles, dot-to-dots, spot the difference, counting, quizzes, good idea or not, and drawing and design pages
A short note for grown-ups on every lesson, and all the answers at the back
Pages to print and keep
My walker's promise
An adventure chart
A Puppy Adventurer certificate
A fridge poster of our walking rules
Why this book is different
The lead always stays with a grown-up, in the pictures and in the lessons
Puppy is never pushed to say hello: children learn to let him choose
Calm watching from a bench counts as a proper outing, and the book explains why
Sully, the Paws Academy puppy, leads every adventure, just like in the other Junior books
Fifty puzzles about parks, roads, cafés and car trips
Who it's for
Children aged 4 to 10 whose puppy is about to start going out, families planning first trips to the park, the vet's or the café, and grandparents who'll be joining in with walks.
