Animals Helping with Special Needs by Clare Oliver is a great book to introduce assistance animals with a non-fiction text. The well laid out Table of Contents includes 13 topics involving support pets. The topics each have a 2 page spread with information about training, use, and real stories of people using support. There are stories from dogs and horses, to dolphins and monkeys. The end includes a glossary of terms, useful resources, and index. The book kept interest of my students first through 5th grade. The pictures were a bit out of date, but the students did not seem to notice.
