Dogs

Summary: full of neat info
Review: This book is a wonderful introduction for children to the world of the dogs. This will teach young children lots of facts about dogs. This book shows us all about the cats overall characteristics, descriptions of birth and growth and lots more neat facts. At the end of the book are some helpful questions to ask your family before deciding if a cat is the right pet for your family.

We liked looking at the various breeds of dogs. The full color photos were very good and educational.

This is a great book that appeals to children and dog lovers alike.

Summary: A fine second book
Review: Where did dogs come from? How high can a dog jump? How sensitive is a dog's scent? How do dogs communicate? These are just a few of the questions Seymour Simon answers in Dogs.

Dogs is loaded with small and large photos of many different breeds. It would have been nice if they were labeled. The front cover however does break down a few breeds under the five main breed: Hounds, Terriers, Sporting Dogs, Working Dogs, and Herding Dogs.

I was disappointed in the size/price comparison of this book. A rather small book for the hefty price of $23.99 CAN. But surprised how much data was contained there in. The content is easy to read, to the point and entertaining enough for any adult that may be following along. The hardcover and heavy pages are sure to be durable for the recommended 4-8 age group.

A fine second book if you can find it in your bargain section.
