This is a book that my students will undoubtedly love! Animal books are great, pets are even better, and dog books are the absolute best when it comes to popularity. I enjoyed it, too!

I received an advanced copy from NetGalley to read and review. I personally love any book that has pictures of dogs and interesting facts that I never knew before. My students who are animal lovers would enjoy this book for recreational reading.

The single most popular book that my students have enjoyed over the years is a well-worn and puppy-chewed encyclopedia of dog breeds. After all of these years, Tammy Gagne's Encyclopedia of Dog Breeds is on my To Buy list because of the gorgeous pictures of dogs posed and in motion, the Fun Fact section set off in an appealing color box that kids will devour, the glossary containing technical terms that are described in words that kids will understand, and the table of contents which describes the groups of dogs in cool, unconventional ways such as Tiny Toys, Well-Rounded Companions, etc. If you're an avid dog lover, this book will make your heart shine.

NetGalley shared an e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

Great quality book for pet experts and dog lovers!
I reviewed this book together with my little 4 year old, at home we are dog lovers, and animals in general, it has been very entertaining to discover the characteristics, recommendations for training and homecare for each race; also the photographs were very appealing to my son.
The book has a great and attractive design, contains enough information suitable for children, without falling into excesses. The breed content is extensive, divided into 7 groups and there are many breeds recently approved by the American Kennel Club.
It is a great issue for our little ones who are eager for knowledge and facts about dogs, I totally recommend it.
My gratitude to the Publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to review the book

To put it simply...I loved this book. As soon as I saw the title I thought I would buy this for my nephew for his birthday. Its a delightful book full of just about every dog I can think of. The book is full of fun facts, solid information on the dogs appearance, personality, training notes and so on. I think this is a very good book for either new dog owners or before a child is going to chose a dog.

The glossary in the back of the book is thorough in its explanations and pronunciation of of dog related terms such as Tricolor (TRYE-Kuhl-er)-having three colors. The photography will make any dog lover go gooey over the precious pups and I can see great value coming out of the care notes.

A delightful read, highly recommended particularly if a child is about to chose a new dog.

My two girls ages 11 and 8 just loved this book! We lost our family dog last july and I thought they would LOVE this book and I was right! Now they want a new dog , but having a hard time getting daddy to say ok lol, and picking just ONE dog they like . Loved the color throughout the book, the wording was just right for children to understand, and overall a very nice book.

*I received this book free from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.*

If you know anything about me, you know I love dogs. I currently live with five. So I would say I have an above average love for dogs. So when my students ask me questions about dogs I love to point them to fun books that include interesting information and cute pictures. And this book is definitely one I would point them too. If they were third graders.

My younger grades would find this book too text heavy, even though they would enjoy the pictures.

I found the information about the different breeds to be interesting and I liked the format of each page. It would be a great book to use as an example when I teach the differences between fiction and nonfiction books. It has all the text features I like to point out!

I would definitely consider purchasing this for my library!

I love the coloring in the Australian Cattle Dog. I had no idea that this dog was a crossing a type of Collie and Dalmatian. I love the Australian Shepherds. Their coloring is so beautiful. I have not heard of Beauceron. Maybe it is because their country of origin is France.

When growing up, my brother had a beautiful Keeshond. Jerry was a great dog. My brother and my mom both have Westies. I did not know that the tips of their ears are prone to sunburn.

A favorite of my is Siberian Husky. We have/had 2 (not sure how to write that). We lost our oldest husky, (11 years old) Zeus, at the end of December of 2016. He was a great dog. Our younger husky, Bolt, has a lot of energy for being 5 years old. Belgian Malinois is a favorite of my. They are known for their work as police and military dogs. Another favorite is the German Shepherd dog.

Educational. Great photos.
