Recommends it for:
young children; older readers who enjoy dog art
This is an alphabet book, using dogs, with cute little rhymes and charming illustrations. Along with the alphabet, it includes information about dogs--popular breeds, basic care, and behavior. It's bite-sized information for kids, with more information for older readers in smaller (but not small) print below the rhyme.
It's a lovely book, to read to your kids, or to leave out on the coffee table to enjoy the art.

This picture book is a decided improvement upon the similarly themed W is for Woof. I was jumping for joy that in this book, "A" stands for "Adoption," complete with information about animal shelters! Hooray!
Unfortunately, not every page is illustrated, which is a real shame, because the illustrations are a lot of fun.

this is a GREAT book! though cheating a little for a reading "challenge." Buy it for the cute verses, for the good information, and for the artwork by Mark Anderson.
I would have given this book 4 stars, except that there were no collies or shetland sheepdogs anywhere in the book! Very nice illustrations, though.
Several of the watercolor illustrations capture the energy and whimsy of the dog breeds that are featured.
Love it. :)
