An elementary teacher's thoughts on a great nonfiction book

"Dogs" is a great informational book for kids in the primary grade levels. All kids have background knowledge on this topic and Ms. Gibbons presents her content in an easily understandable way. This would be a great book to use to start to teach kids about how/when to read "quick text" (brief text that accompanies pictures) and labels. There are a variety of breeds in "Dogs" that kids will be familiar with, and reading this book may spark interest in wanting to read more nonfiction about animals. By the way, in the Copyright 1996 edition, the word "Dalmatian" is not misspelled.
