TUX Learns... About Being Brave: A Pup's First Steps Toward Courage

By Bill Black

Being brave doesn't mean you never feel scared. Tux is about to find that out for himself.

New places can feel strange. New people smell different. The veterinarian has a funny necklace called a stethoscope. The groomer has brushes, clippers, and something that sounds suspiciously like a giant wind monster.

For a little puppy, that is a lot to think about.

In TUX Learns... About Being Brave, Tux discovers that courage doesn't mean pretending nothing bothers him. Sometimes being brave means stopping, looking, trusting the hoo-mans who care about him, and taking just one small step.

Told from Tux's curious puppy point of view, this gentle read-aloud adventure features short sentences, warm humor, colorful illustrations, and interactive Paw Questions that invite young listeners to point, notice, and talk along with the story.

Perfect for children ages 3-5, parents, grandparents, caregivers, and preschool classrooms, this story introduces courage and new experiences in a simple, reassuring way without making scary feelings seem wrong.
