Like human beings, dogs are not all alike. Beyond the obvious differences, size, color, breed, etc, they have varying traits that make them more suitable for some situations than another. This book does a wonderful job of not just pointing out the similarities and differences between humans and dogs but dog breeds/types. Designed for children, the book surely has about as much to offer adults wanting to learn more about their furry friend or about to make the big step of bringing a dog into their home. This book will help, not to mention delight and entertain. I mean, I defy you not to smile at those puppy photos! (Grin)
While relatively brief in comparison to some dog books, "Hello, Dogs" does an excellent job covering the basics, teaching, and charming readers. Whether dog-crazy kid or adult, you're sure to find something that you'll find of interest. I particularly enjoyed the emphasis on relating to dogs, with highlights on ways we can genuinely be kind to them. There's even a section, with photos, pointing out how we are like and unlike our dogs. It even shows how size impacts the comparison of dog to human ages. I've seen several of these charts elsewhere and they do seem to vary slightly but this one is right in the general area. In addition, expected features like breeds, traits, dog safety, and more.
Bottom line, lots of information and fun with adorable illustrations and photos that both illustrate and bring smiles. I had an advance digital copy but the print version promises stickers, too, to go along with the activities suggested. Wouldn't it be fun to carry along one of those Breed Bingo cards to a dog show? In any case, my thanks to #NetGalley and #StoreyPublishing for allowing me to indulge in an early peek at this fun, entertaining, and wonderfully informative books. My rescue corgi mix was at my side as I read and she can attest to it earning her lots of additional pets and scratches as I read.
