Elementary students who appreciate
animal books will like this new title on choosing a dog. Beautifully illustrated with color
photographs, the book will give students a better understanding of what it takes to own a dog. The author presents information in a
well-written manner on a variety of topics, including the history of dogs, choosing the
right dog, taking proper care of your new best friend, keeping your new dog
healthy and happy, ways to prevent problems, and the life cycle of a dog. Within each topic, students are provided
fascinating “fast facts”, interesting “pet
pointers”, and color captioned pictures for students to visualize what kind of
dog they would like to own.
Students learn how the American Humane Association has been helping to protect children, pets, and farm animals from cruelty, abuse and neglect since 1877. The author includes gorgeous color photographs, words to know, recommended books and Internet addresses, and an index.

Each title in this series of six (as of this review) focuses on a different kind
of pet. Each one discusses the
selection, housing, diet, handling, grooming, and health of the pet. Animals include dogs,
horses, birds, cats, fish, and small mammals like rabbits, hamsters, and gerbils.
