Customer Reviews

full of neat info

This book is a wonderful introduction for children to the world of the dogs. This will teach young children lots of facts about dogs. This book shows us all about the cats overall characteristics, descriptions of birth and growth and lots more neat facts. At the end of the book are some helpful questions to ask your family before deciding if a cat is the right pet for your family. We liked looking at the various breeds of dogs. The full color photos were very good and educational. This is a great book that appeals to children and dog lovers alike.
