Therapy Dog Visits Moorestown Library
Xorra, a German shepherd therapy dog, will return to the library next week, and again in March and April.
Xorra, the ever-popular therapy dog, returned to the last month, once again giving budding young readers the chance to practice reading books of their choice aloud to a nonjudgmental listener.
Reading to dogs has become popular in libraries and schools across the country because it helps children develop their reading skills in a relaxed environment with an approving audience.
Among the books Xorra enjoyed during her most recent visit were Princess Super Kitty by Antoinette Portis and Clarence Goes Out West and Meets a Purple Horse, by Jean Ekman Adams.
