Anita Ganeri presented this informational book about dogs in a very adorable way! It can be informative not only to children that are wanting to adopt a puppy, but also informative to adults as well! The book also has real life photographs that show children what the text is referring to. In addition, Ganeri included useful information towards the back of the book, such as a glossary, a page of useful tips and facts about dogs. This was a very well put together book, and I would definitely recommend it to prospective dog owners with young children in their household!

It is an information book of dogs for primary readers. The book tells young readers what do dogs look like, how to choose your dog, what are healthy dogs look like and how to take care of it. Most children will prefer a pet as a company at a young age. This book serves as a great guidance.
