Barbara Woodhouses Encyclopedia Of Dogs

Rating:
Summary: "Encyclopedia" is a misnomer
Review: I ordered this book as a gift for my 7th grade grandson. What I had in mind was a dog encyclopedia with a lot of pictures and information on various breeds. This book has no illustrations at all and is a topical guide to caring for your dog. Not exactly a coffee table attention getter (even for a seventh grader). For that matter, encyclopedias are usually long. This book is quite short.

For an adult who wants good practical advice about caring for a dog, its obviously very helpful. As a gift to a kid, its a dud.
