A wonderful way to welcome a dog into family life

Kid-friendly illustrations and very simple, practical advice will enable families to welcome a dog or a puppy into their lives with love, understanding, and responsibility. This is the best book I've seen for parents and kids to comprehend their pet's needs. It should be offered to anyone wanting their children to develop the qualities of commitment and responsibility along with the sheer fun of sharing their lives with an animal. And the drawings and activities are very, very sweet.

AN INFORMATIVE, FUN AND THOROUGHLY ENJOYABLE BOOK!!

THIS IS A TERRFIIC BOOK FILLED WITH TIPS NOT ONLY ON FUN GAMES AND ACTIVITIES FOR YOU AND YOUR DOG, BUT ALSO TIPS ON SELECTING A GREAT DOG, TRAINING, GROOMING, AND EVEN RECIPES TO BAKE FOR YOUR BEST FRIEND. THE ILLUSTRATIONS ARE DARLING, AND THE TEXT IS FUN AND EASY TO READ FOR DOG LOVERS OF ANY AGE. THIS IS A GREAT BOOK FOR 1ST TIME DOG OWNERS, OR SEASONED DOG LOVERS. GREAT ALL AROUND FUN AND INFORMATION ON TOPICS THAT ARE NOT ONLY HELPFUL BUT ENTERTAINING AS WELL!!!

Gentle, respectful activities to enjoy with your dog pal.

It's absolutely wonderful. This is a great book for persons of any age who want to learn how to treat their animal companions with gentle respect, and have great fun with them at the same time. It's clear, well-written, and well-organized, and I've learned a lot from it. The drawings are charming. It's a winner.
