Additional text
Atlas of Dogs by Stepanka Sekaninova is a pretty cool book about dogs for anyone who loves dogs or wants to learn more about man’s best friend. 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. You can also find some fun facts, tips on how to take care of your dog, and how to interpret dog body language. The book is full of fun pictures (even though they aren’t photographs). I think this is a really fun book and I love just flipping through the pages and learning about all the cool dogs! —Kids Book Buzz
