The Helping Paws Club
The Hawkins Hollow friends want to help, but Brandon’s quick reach makes Spencer feel unsafe. With the Ask-First Help 3, the Helping Paws Club learns to notice, ask first, and help safely—or accept “no thank you.”
In Hawkins Hollow, the friends are ready to help. But helping the wrong way can feel grabby instead of kind. With The Ask-First Help 3, the Helping Paws Club learns how to notice a need, ask permission first, and help safely—or accept no. Little by little, they discover that good helping is not about rushing in. It is about respect, teamwork, and making sure the person being helped feels safe too. This warm read-aloud gently explores consent, cooperation, safe helping, respectful boundaries, and friendship in a way that helps children feel calmer and more confident in group situations.
