Dogs

Product DescriptionA young reader's introduction to the world of dogs explores the physical characteristics, behavior, and special senses of purebreds, crossbreeds, and mongrels, accompanied by practical information on how to care for puppies and dogs.From School Library JournalKindergarten-Grade 2 A broad overview of dogs for beginning readers. Ancestry, first domestication, and what makes canines a unique species are all outlined. Breeds, crossbreeds, and mongrels are defined. Exterior anatomy seems somewhat obvious, but necessary for the explanations in the text. As particular points are made, differing breeds are pictured in Gibbons's usual style. Popular breeds, as puppies and adults, are captured in mixed-media artwork with some selections better drawn than others. There is something for all dog enthusiasts here. A good choice for both reports and pleasure reading.
