Have you ever felt nervous about going to your first day of school, or playing on a new team, or moving to a new town? Join Norman, the goofy and lovable golden lab, as he recalls his first day of work as a facility dog. Just like you may have felt on your first day, Norman is nervous that he may make a mistake. He will have to overcome his fear if he wants to learn new things and make new friends.
“Norman, at your Service: My First Day” is ideal for 3- to 10-year-olds who are embarking on those scary “firsts” of childhood with a compelling story, rhyming narrative, and clever illustrations that kids and adults will enjoy reading again and again!
It is an 8″x10″ hardcover children’s book containing 30 pages that are printed on premium paper in Tennessee. Norman is happy to “pawtograph” your book with his real pawprint!
Price includes shipping within the United States. Please reach out to us at bark@normanatyourservice.com if you are interested in purchasing outside the United States and we will work with you directly to make sure you can get all the Norman goods!

Such a sweet book with a beautiful message and engaging illustrations. My kids talk about Norman all the time now, especially when trying something new. Hearing them say “What you’re feeling is all normal, Norman!” to each other when they’re feeling nervous helps to lighten the mood and encourage them to own their feelings AND choose bravery. So grateful for this book!

I saw Norman on TV and fell in love with his story and what he’s doing to help people and of course had to order his book. I was soooo excited to recieve, read, and share his book. Of course I’m following him on Instagram and enjoy seeing what he’s up to🤣. If you haven’t read his book and follow him on social media, you need to, he’ll put a smile on your face😁

I work in Speech and Hearing on the 10th floor about PBP and see Norman running around outside from my office! When I saw his book I had to buy it for my family. Super cute and great message, happy to support!
