Alfie, Gibson and Teaspoon is a collection of musings by a wise kelpie, an anxious terrier cross and a playful cavoodle. They talk about the themes in life that run through all ages and phases such as, love, friendship, trust and empathy. These themes are interwoven with doggy humour and metaphors that include kibble and boiled chicken.Written by a registered psychologist, this book is aimed to be read together, by parents to children as a way of encouraging connection and openness around some interesting and less often talked about life themes.
