Reviews

I really love dogs and this is a great book full of tons of facts about dogs! I think non fiction books are one of my favorite books to read.

[Lynda]

Lots of photos of cute and silly puppies and dogs accompanied by many “dog facts.”

[Alana Robinson]

This book, I love, I LOVE WOLVES SUPER DUPER MUCH AND THIS BOOK HAS THEM!

[Tara]

Needs more details. It was a lot about wolves which we know are dogs but there is a wolf book in this series and it was repetitive.

Like Penguins and Horses & Ponies, this is a children's informational guide focusing on a specific animal type. In this case, dogs. For how small and short they are, these beginner books pack a punch, including a glossary, index, and reference sites to visit for further information. Being a common animal that is often seen and come in contact with, even though we don't have one as a pet, makes it an instant win for further learning. I suspect these books will be of more interest when the kids can read and understand them better themselves, but for the moment they still are appealing.

this is all about dogs

[Becky]

Part of the lovely beginners series. One for a child to learn to read themselves or to share with an adult. Nice simple facts and great illustrations.

This book is about the life of dogs. I would use this book to teach about dogs. I enjoyed this book because it shed light on some weird behaviors.
