"Although it's aimed at younger readers, this collection includes a really surprising number of lesser known dog breeds and lots (and lots) of facts and trivia about dogs and canine history. The art is simple and colorful but well done and full of details. The different breeds are clearly recognizable and the stories are fun and engaging.

The dog breeds are grouped by category:  sight hounds, scent hounds, pointers & setters, terriers, sheepdogs & cattle dogs, retrievers, spitz & primitive breeds, dachshunds, pinschers schnauzers & molosser breeds, and companion dogs. Each breed is illustrated with a short and simple description including some general characteristics and activity levels. Scattered throughout the book are nicely illustrated stories about heroic and amazing dogs throughout history.

This would be a good choice for public or school library acquisition, gifting, or for families doing research with an eye to adopting a new canine family member. Five stars" —Annie B, Nonstop Reader

The book lists all kinds of dog breeds by categories and gives good descriptions, so if you are choosing a dog for a pet, it could be helpful. They also rate dog breed groups by intelligence, obedience, activity level, guarding skills, and barking. There are also a lot of stories about hero dogs, dogs of famous people, and famous dogs in history.
