Introducing young children to dogs, this book can be used in the classroom and at home. Informative and straightforward text is enhanced by detailed illustrations, photography, a glossary of useful words and a selection of related websites; accessible through the Usborne Quicklinks site.
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.
