Product Description
The only AKC-approved reference for children is the ultimate reference for those who love dogs! The book has information about the history and character of the breeds, as well as graphics showing where each breed originated, how big it is, and boxes containing a "fun fact" about each dog. Kids will also learn what they can do for and with their dogs -- everything from cleaning ears and giving baths to competing in Junior Showmanship or Agility.

This History of dog breeds by AKC is simple, down to earth and packed with easy to assimilate information for all ages. And fast reading.. I got two of them and made flash cards of all the dog breeds!

Clear and Informative September 30, 2008

This is a great book that devotes a page to every AKC-recognized dog breed. It gives a brief history, major characteristics, and a short story about a famous or interesting dog for each breed. Pages are all full color with big, clear photos. The book strikes a perfect balance between providing good information while not getting too in-depth. I borrowed this from the library with my five year old in mind, but my seven year old is the one who can't put it down. I am here to buy her very own copy. This should be #1 on the list for any young dog lover!
Edited to note: When we got our recently purchased copy from Amazon, my daughter noticed that there were several breeds listed which hadn't been in the library's older copy. This is a new edition and has been updated to include all recently AKC-accepted breeds.
Very pleased with book July 14, 2008

I purchased this book for my daughter's 9th birthday. She wanted a book with lots of real dog pictures in it so she could draw them correctly. I saw this book online and since it's from the American Kennel Club, knew it would be a good representation of the most popular dog breeds around. Boy was I right! This book has great color photos of each breed and interesting facts too. My daughter loved this book! She is also using it to draw dogs from (drawing is her passion). Anyway, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone buying for children because the photos are big and bright and the text is child-friendly.
All of it was Good May 31, 2007
I loved every single part of this book. I loved to look at the pictures of dog breeds, and try to see what my beagle mix is mixed WITH. After I looked through it, I read about how train your dog, and all that information. people think that part is boring. They are just like 3 year-olds, never looking at the words of a picture book, just looking at the pictures. I loved it. I keep on checking it out the the library! I check it out so much, my mom gets frustrated when I do check it out anymore!
GREAT book for a young dog lover! February 9, 2007

My five year old is a huge dog fan. I wanted to find a book for her that really fit with her interests and her level. This book really fit the bill. It has fantastic photos of real dogs, shows where the dogs' origins are from, and gives average size along with a small graphic that shows the dog size in comparison to an adult. The index is easy to read so my five year old can look up a certain dog in the index and easily find it. It has a lot of information about each dog and has kept her interest for hours on end. My only complaint would be that the cover is not holding up to the usage demands! A fantastic book for any young dog lover of any age!
