Cooper and Me and the Military

I was excited to get a chance to review another book in the Cooper and Me series. In this latest adventure, we meet Cooper's best friend, Trooper! Gracie and Joe's parents, who are both in the military, adopted Trooper when he needed to retire from being a military service dog. The parents both had to go back overseas, but will the family find a way to stay close despite being separated?

This is a great book for anyone with friends and family in the military, or for those separated from loved ones for other reasons. Not only does it demonstrate ideas of ways to show your love to them, but also reminds the child that their parent (or friend) still love and think about them.
All of the books in the Cooper and Me series, includes these interactive features:
• A Special Memory Creation
• Life Lesson
• Connections
• Learning Together

In addition to a fun adventure, each Cooper and Me story teaches an important Life Lesson and features interactive materials at the back of the book to drive the message home.  Included are activities that help children name and process their own feelings about what they’ve read.


These are great books for elementary age kids, especially, and the interaction you can share with the child you are sharing the book with, and the ideas to reach out to others. If you know a child who has a parent who is far away right now, especially one serving overseas in the military, this is a great gift book. Enter the contest to win a copy of your own!!
