Customer Reviews

Great for the younger set

In the product description, the age range is listed as 4-8. I think this book is far too rudimentary for kids that old. But my one and half year old loves it. The pictures are adorable if not completely true-to-life. My son has been developing an enthusiasm for dogs and this book just adds to it.

A wonderful learning tool!

I bought this book for my 16 month old son because he loves dogs, but to my surprise he learned to do all the actitives the dogs are doing, and he has so much fun doing them. He scratches his head, sniffs the pages, growls and barks when the dogs do. These actitives might not get him into an Ivy League college, but he has so much fun showing off is new skills to us and visitors that we think this book is great purchase! My son is now 18 months and we still read this book about 4 times a day!

Educational and great to look at!

This is the type of book that would appeal to children and dog lovers of all ages. The colorful pictures of many different breeds of dogs capture and hold your attention. It is the type of book where children could have so much fun looking at it that they might learn without realizing it. Check to see if your dog is among those included and see what he/she looks like in illustration form.
