From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Gr. 2-3, younger for reading aloud. There are other books about these popular pets, but most are for older children. Here, Simon writes crisply for a young audience, who will eagerly turn the pages to see the next endearing color photograph. In Dogs, he begins with overall characteristics framed in ways kids can understand: "Dogs are able to swallow much larger hunks of food than humans are able to swallow." Simon also describes dogs' senses, their intelligence, and means of communication. Descriptions of birth and growth are enhanced by a full-page picture of puppies feeding and a smaller photo of a tiny puppy held in a hand. Simon also describes different breeds, including terriers, shepherds, and toys. Cats covers most of the same topics with the same sort of photos--for example, kittens feeding. Both books use a page or two to discuss pet care and end with pictures of various breeds. Simon's always lucid prose is matched by sharp photos, most of which fill up the pages. An attractive way to introduce children to nonfiction. Ilene Cooper

| 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.
