The second in a series of books for children, The Monster Dog is narrated by 'Tasse' the Shih Tzu. Tasse's story teaches children about Alzheimer's Disease and the changes it can cause in their loved ones. Suitable for young readers, ages 3 to 7 years.
"Carmen Tribbett cleverly explains the love and care during crisis and coping with loss through the vision of their pet dog in this delightful and heartfelt children's book."
-Dr. Shayana Desilva, Pediatrician - Mayo Clinic Health System in Austin, MN
"Children will identify with Tasse the Dog as she experiences her owner's Alzheimer's and eventual death with acceptance and faith in this comforting autobiographical tale."
-Ann Hokanson, Executive Director - Traverse Des Sioux Library Cooperative in Mankato, MN
"I was a teacher for thirty-eight years and wish this book had been available while I was still in the classroom. It is a treasure of information about a difficult topic, written in a kid-friendly manner. It is touching and tender and would be an excellent addition to any classroom library. I highly recommend it."
-Ann Sundal, Retired Teacher - Austin Public Schools in Austin, MN
"A masterfully written story with beautiful illustrations, that deserves broad and frequent reading by all the family and friends of Alzheimer's victims. This is not just a children's book, it is a people's book."
-Jay Clark, Caretaker - Minneapolis, MN
