Reviews
Grade 3-7 This interesting, entertaining book has chapters on How Humans and Dogs Became Friends, How Dogs See the World, How Dogs Talk, and How Dogs Think. The question-and-answer format is interspersed with facts and stories in sidebars. Topics include the oldest breed, getting a dog to stop barking, whether canines can do math, and the title question. Beautiful full-color photos show many breeds, which, unfortunately, are not identified in captions. Another minor drawback is the lack of an index, limiting the book's usefulness for reports; however, it is a terrific addition for general interest. Kathleen E. Gruver, Burlington County Library, Westampton, NJ

Gr. 2-4. The Canadian author of How to Speak Dog (2000) goes ruthlessly for the "oh, how cute" reaction with a set of doggy facts and claims paired to small but hard-to-resist portrait photos. Arranged thematically beneath headers such as "How Dogs See The World," his comments range from speculations about when dogs were first domesticated and a list of today's most popular breeds to unusual things that dogs have swallowed and why male dogs raise their legs to pee. Children in search of specific information about raising a pet should be steered to the likes of Jean Craighead George's How to Talk to Your Dog (2000), but as unabashed recreational reading, this anecdotal gathering is hard to top.
