This is a book that easily describes what it's like to be a dog. It helps children understand what dogs see, what they see, and how they learn. This is a good beginning science book because it helps young children realize that animals are different than humans.

Intuitively (and lovingly) I already do most of the things the author recommends such as letting my dog sniff all he wants on his walks, observing him, and listening to his barks. The author describes research and experiments to help explain dogs' behavior and how they perceive the world. Young readers who love dogs will get a scientist's eye-view of our canine friends. ( )

I read much of this book with my daughters who are always interested to learn more fun dog facts. I would recommend this book to any future student who shows a great interest in dogs!
