I don't know that this
will make your kid a genius but it will definitely provide them with
solid information on a wide variety of dog breeds, their
characteristics, and traits. Since I'm owned by a corgi mix, I opted to
use that breed as an example. While my girl is a mix, she seems to fit
nicely within the Cardigan Welsh Corgi guidelines. One thing it mentions
that I'd noticed but hadn't realized was a breed trait was that they
tend to have bowed legs, hence their feet point outward. I'd just
thought it was some quirk of my own dog. Cool.
This book won't
tell you everything there is about every dog breed in existence but is a
nice addition to any library, child or adult. It will tell you what the
breed is known for, where it originated, and, among others, special
considerations. I found those particularly useful as that included
energy levels, ie amount of exercise needed daily, herding tendencies,
whether they are shedding machines, and inclination to gain weight. I
was definitely interested in that aspect. There is more, such as a short
list of other target audience level books, and index, and photo credits
for the lovely photos used as illustration. You won't learn everything
there is to know about dogs from this book but it provides a solid
foundation. One to add to the shelf. Adults may find it sparse on detail
but for the targeted audience, works nicely.
Thank you
#NetGalley and #NorthStarEditions - #NorthStarKids for allowing me a
sneak peek. I love the cover and even learned something about my own dog!
