Great book!
This book is the best! It is packed with great information in a kid friendly way, with a lot of pictures. We are getting a new puppy soon, and have kids ages 1-12. This book has everything. It discusses dogs’ body language, sounds they make, how to help them adjust to a crate, step-by-step training tips with illustrations, and even recipes to make homemade dog treats. My kids are really enjoying learning so much. I’m very happy with this book and recommend it to anyone with kids and a dog.

Great book for pet owners of all ages, not just kids!
This book has all the basic information any dog owner needs. It’s a wonderful resource for anyone who has a dog, yet so easy to understand as it’s written for kids. It is very well written, organized with great illustrations and photos. The author’s dog Kona is so fun to see in it as well. I will definitely be using this book for children’s programming at my animal shelter as well.

Product Review
I got his book for my grand daughter and she loved it. She quickly started applying some of the instructions.
Jocelyn Shannon –
Learn and Laugh
As a school librarian of many years, I have always looked for books which gave outstanding information in an engaging manner. Ms. Moore’s background supplies all the credibility I look for, and her pet partner, cartoon canine Kona , leaps off the page to give his own furry point of view and add to the fun.. Each chapter is well organized and I would recommend a family read around so that all of you can smile as you learn more about your own house pup.
