The Sheepdog Series — Children's Books About Working Dogs by Rick L Yost

The Project

This project developed out of the bedtime stories that I would tell my boys. They loved them and some were actually pretty good. I started to insert lessons into each story and then I would discuss the lessons with them. And...a book series was born.

The Sheepdog series teaches the importance of helping and protecting others. I wrote this for 2-7 year old little boys and girls. Use these books to teach them not to hit, push, bully, and to have safe hands with their friends. Use it to explain what your job is, how you help others, and why you have to go to work. And always be a Sheepdog.
