March is Paws to Read Month, a literacy program that encourages children to read to shelter dogs and cats. At Writer’s Relief, we found a few books about cats and dogs that cats and dogs are sure to enjoy having read to them (and kids will enjoy these too)—especially if tasty treats are involved for everyone!. Get your paws on these great books and start reading:

Hondo & Fabian by Peter McCarty

I Am the Cat by Alice Schertle (illustrated by Mark Buehner)

Because of Shoe and Other Dog Stories edited by Ann M. Martin

The Friendship of Millie and Tug by Dian Curtis Regan (illustrated by Jennifer Danza)

How to Save Your Tail *if you are a rat nabbed by cats who really like stories about magic spoons, wolves with snout-warts, big, hairy chimney trolls…and cookies, too. by Mary Hanson (illustrated by John Hendrix)
