Children love to read animal stories and learn factual details about their behaviour. Each Mattie chapter takes you a bit further on her journey through the first year of her life. Mattie welcomes children into the school each morning, being petted, talked to and held. Mattie Stories is a beautifully illustrated children’s story based on the author’s Miniature Schnauzer named Mattie. It follows her through her interactions and fears which many young children will be able to relate to!
