This is a great book that I use for 4-H quiz bowl. It has complete breed descriptions for every breed in the AKC. It gives you the breed standard, a size comparison, and unique facts for EVERY breed. This book also has vital information for first aid, and health care. Great book for kids 8 and up.

As much as I like the book, it was not what I though it would be. This is a book about the various breeds explaining thme briefly to the child reader and introducing them by photos. Some of the best photos at a very reasonable price for those looking into the different breeds around!

My five year old is a huge dog fan. I wanted to find a book for her that really fit with her interests and her level. This book really fit the bill. It has fantastic photos of real dogs, shows where the dogs' origins are from, and gives average size along with a small graphic that shows the dog size in comparison to an adult. The index is easy to read so my five year old can look up a certain dog in the index and easily find it. It has a lot of information about each dog and has kept her interest for hours on end. My only complaint would be that the cover is not holding up to the usage demands! A fantastic book for any young dog lover of any age!

I bought this for my younger sister. The colorful pictures grabbed her interest. She loved looking up dog breeds and reading about them. Kid-friendly and informative.

The Complete Dog book for kids is the ultimate reference for anyone who is interested in dog showing or purebred dogs. Here, you will find a general description of all the dogs, according to the AKC breed standards. If you're interested in getting a purebred dog, this book can help you decide by giving you a general idea on the look and personality of any given breed. This book also explains what various dog sports, such as agility and obedience trials, are about. Anyone who is interested in showing dogs or dog sports/activities should read this book.

Excellent resource for the family looking for a dog or just wanting more information about all the different breeds. Good pictures.

This is the best book by far for kids and adults to learn the most common AKC breeds. It is one of the resources used by 4-H when asking Dog Showmanship and Dog Knowledge Bowl questions. Plus it's just a fun and interesting book with colored pictures of each dog, layed out so it's not like you're studying but just enjoying a read. Highly recommend.

I loved every single part of this book. I loved to look at the pictures of dog breeds, and try to see what my beagle mix is mixed WITH. After I looked through it, I read about how train your dog, and all that information. people think that part is boring. They are just like 3 year-olds, never looking at the words of a picture book, just looking at the pictures. I loved it. I keep on checking it out the the library! I check it out so much, my mom gets frustrated when I do check it out anymore!

My kids absolutely love this book. Every time they see a dog they don't know, they ask what it is and look it up in the book. There hasn't been a dog they haven't been able to find yet. The color photographs, not illustrations, are great. I highly recommend this book, especially to kids who love dogs.

This History of dog breeds by AKC is simple, down to earth and packed with easy to assimilate information for all ages. And fast reading.. I got two of them and made flash cards of all the dog breeds!
