Another simple "pet ed" book for very young readers.
The bad news: While it does mention animal shelters as a place to find a dog who needs a good home, My First Dog makes the too-frequent mistake of asserting, If you want to buy a purebred dog, you will need to go to a breeder. Sigh. No mention of the one in four shelter pets who are purebreds, nor the thousands of breed rescue groups across the US. I'm also not a huge fan of the constant use of "it" to refer to dogs.
The good news: A brief section for parents is included in the back of the book. Neutering is encouraged to prevent the birth of unwanted litters.
