A Kid's Guide to Dogs

Fun , educational way of teaching children how to love and live with pets , interesting , informative but age appropriate.

This book holds all the information you would think you need before or after you get a dog - but it is so much more! It’s helpful in explaining about the different breeds and their needs but also explains what a dog needs, how to train him, etc. What I liked was how to handle being someone else’s dog. The short trivia questions is an important addition as it makes you stop and think before starting the next section.
I received an advanced reader copy from NetGalley in exchange for my volunteer review.

This, like A Kid's Guide to Cats, is another great visual way to help children understand what's going on in the mind of dogs, and what their mannerisms mean. Whether it's for fun, or to help a child understand a pet better, this book is highly recommended.

An absolutely necessary guide book to dogs for children AND adults. It gives you the full break down about barks, body language and howling. It has recipes. There are so many interesting facts about dogs to help you better understand you pups. Honestly this is one of the best information books on dogs I’ve seen. It’s interesting while being really informative.

What a great resource for kids who are getting a dog, have a dog or just love dogs. This book is well organized with many appealing photos and illustrations. There are things to make like treats, toys and dog beds, facts on breeds, quizzes and more. Even more important though are all of the helpful sections on how a dog communicates and how to train and raise a dog so that the dog and all family members are happy.

I highly recommend this excellent resource. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.

Dogs don't come with manuals, but they should - and I suggest this should be it! A great guide for dog-loving kiddos, author Arden Moore covers everything from how to great a dog to understanding dog body language, all in fun, child-friendly prose. There's also lots of DIY ideas - cookies, toys, even a tire dog bed - that even children without dogs can make for four-legged friends. My favorite part of this book is the pronouns - no, really! The author never refers to an animal as "it", but always "he" or "she". Such a simple thing, but it speaks volumes about the respect she has for canines!
