Book excerpt: The story of Kermit the Newf at the library is inspired by a real life, very large, black and white Newfoundland dog. Kermit has had many adventures. While waiting for his grandma to pick him up in her van, he thinks about some of the ones he likes the most. Not knowing where she will take him today, he is so happy when they get to his favorite place in the whole world, the Library. In this adventure Kermit helps a young boy overcome his shyness and fear of dogs. The boy is surprised at the unusual site of a dog in the library. He is intrigued to see that children are actually sitting with and reading to a huge dog that doesn't bite them or bark at them. He sees the children calmly reading to the big dog, petting him and leaning against him. He can't imagine that they are not as afraid as he is. Over several weeks he watches and waits for something bad to happen. It never does. The children seem very happy to be with Kermit and give him treats when they finish reading. Each child then gets a book to keep so they can either start or add to their own home library. These events peak his interest more and more, until he finally finds the courage to ask if he can read to the big dog too. When he does read to Kermit and nothing bad happens to him, he finds himself being as relaxed as all the other children. His fear of dogs has vanished. He has a new big, black and white, fluffy friend.
