Nina the Golden Dog Irit Shimoni

Then suddenly everybody wanted a sandwich too.
It was so hard to resist. Luckily they had a few!
They gobbled up their sandwiches. Their pants were feeling tighter...
And they wondered to themselves: were their bags becoming lighter?

What do you do when your children want to eat candy before dinner? Or play just a little longer?

In this book of the Nina the Golden Dog series, Nina goes on a picnic with her brother and her sisters. On their way to the park, they meet friends, nibble on snacks, use their imaginations and have fun. Nina the Golden Dog: Going on a Picnic is a book to help parents develop a dialogue with their children about the importance of resisting temptations and delaying gratification.

Each book in the Nina the Golden Dog series is written to include Nina's point of view, inviting children to empathize with Nina's story as they see life through her perspective, and facilitating an understanding of life's challenges as well as an ability to cope with them.

The series was written and illustrated inspired by real life experiences.
