Top Dog

This is a fabulous book for older children. Really nice photographs--for example close-ups of paw pads and a dog's mouth. The glossary, index, and the "Further Research" sections are solid. The author also lists a annotated bibliography of works consulted! Karen Woodworth-Roman, Children's Science Book Review
