PreS-K–Working dogs are featured in rhyming verse that celebrates their unique capabilities and the many roles they can play in our lives. Starting with a water rescue dog photographed in a life vest, standing proudly at the water’s edge, the book will encourage children and their caregivers to examine the photographs and the text to find out what each dog does. The answers to the riddles are provided at the bottom of each page, encouraging discussion. From actor dogs, guide dogs, and pets, a variety of roles are displayed in this beautifully photographed board book featuring a diverse cast of dogs and humans; one photograph features a service dog with a boy using a wheelchair.
VERDICT Covering a wide spectrum of the roles dogs play in our world, this board book will engage young readers and help them develop an appreciation for the amazing canines in our world.
