Customer Reviews

Wonderful book for 1.5 year old!

My 1.5 year old son loves dogs. I wanted to give him some fine motor skill exercises - so I bought this book. We spent a lot of time just looking at all of the pictures. Then he figured out that they were stickers and started trying to peel them off the paper. I would help him peel the stickers off and then I found the dog on the page and he would try to place it. I was glad that the stickers were somewhat re-positionable, as sometimes it took more than one try to get the match close to the shape on the page. Note: the dogs are not in any real order, so it is definitely and hunt game (which my 3.5 year old loved). Also, there are more stickers than there are places to put them in the book. I would definitely buy this product again. I haven't looked, but I would also get this type of book for cats and other animals to reinforce my sons recognition of animals.

Grandson's request

This was a birthday present for my grandson's 9th birthday...he LOVES all the DK Eyewitness books and especially requested this one and MONEY.

¿Qué es un perro?

Another outstanding book from the Eyewitness Encyclopedia Series. It not only tells you what a dog is, but goes into its social structure, evolution, body structure, diversification, domestication, and types. Facts on wolves, dingos, foxes, coyotes, etc. There's even a page with pictures of different types of tails.
