Thunderstorms, large dogs, fireworks, and new friends have Murray, a timid little dog, quite anxious. He fears many new experiences, yet he does them regardless, working through his worry and successfully mastering each intimidating encounter. Worry panics even our sweet and tender dogs and us at some point in life. Children will learn that if fearful and furry Murry can do it, they can too! With whimsical and playful pictures, this story is the perfect read for primary children to learn that new, scary experiences provide opportunities to face and overcome fears. This book is also an excellent mentor text to teach students figurative language, prosody, and valuable social-emotional skills essential for the home and classroom. Most importantly, the story's message encourages and inspires little ones to take risks, with the reward being a new gain of confidence, but they will be encouraged to do it one paw at a time, just like Murray!
