It doesn't matter whether you're an adult or child, there's something here to amuse and educated us all. Well, I wasn't happy not to catch any corgi mentions but, hey, my second favorite, Golden Retrievers, got lots of mentions. Seriously, my quibble aside, there are lots of dog breeds mentioned and described, not to mention mixed breeds get a nod, too. Lots of colorful pictures and more than a few colorful blocks with bit of info. I mean, I knew Jack Russell terriers are known for their energy but did you know how fast they can run? Nope, not telling, but it's impressive. It's those sort of little bits of info that will keep you browsing, with or without a child.
I definitely chuckled at the opening quiz of a sort to see what breed of dog you most resemble. I think I'd have best been described as a mix but it was interesting to see the interpretations. Charts and lists abound but never overwhelm. The Cool Facts scattered about were always fun and there's even a recipe on how to make your own dog biscuits. Do you have your own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? Rin Tin Tin does. You'll learn his background as well as a bit about other famous or even legendary dogs as you take in all that is there. Again, lots of info but never seems crowded or give you a feeling of being overwhelmed.
Bottom line, while aimed at children, this would be a perfect gift for any dog lover, adult or child. Lots to keep everyone entertained and learning. I'll note that one of the most important pages comes near the end and basically shares way we can help dogs, not to mention it addresses common things like how to approach and interact with them, especially if you're strange to them. Thanks. #Capstone #CapstonePress for allowing me this early peek at this fun, informative book. Lots of good info and, as noted, people of all ages should be able to pick up something new as they dive into the book.
