J: it was fantastic, because I love sharing little books and to read with my mom.

Mom: these are really cool books. I don’t like dogs, but I do like the reading together. I read a paragraph, J reads two words. awesome!

[Dawn]

Great concept and interesting book. I would like it more if all of the pictures labeled what breed of dog is shown.

[Peacegal]

Filled with color photos, this is a read-aloud introduction to canine companions.

Veg*n parents note: The section on working dogs contains a discussion of hunting.
