Informative!,
By Armchair Interviews (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: One Incredible Dog! Boone (One Incredible Dog!) (Hardcover)
Daniel Boone is a bloodhound. But he is much more! He is a search-and-rescue dog. In One Incredible Dog! Boone, the reader experiences a day in the life of Boone. From a classroom where the children discuss Boone's job to the hunt for and successful recovery of a missing child, a lost grandfather and the apprehension of a thief, we follow Boone and learn so much about the importance of a search-and-rescue animals.
The black and white illustrations by Judith Friedman are appealing. This book is part of a new Early Reader Series that honors dogs that do incredible things for people. It is geared for children ages 4-8 and is a remarkable book that will not only educate but entertain. I know my grandchildren will enjoy this book. I certainly did. One Incredible Dog! Boone is a grand read for those special children in your life.

Real Glad to have found Boone,
By troubadour (Baltimore, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: One Incredible Dog! Boone (One Incredible Dog!) (Hardcover)
A lot of children's books have been written to inform kids about all sorts of professions, from nurses and deaf percussionists to construction workers and police officers. It is hard to find, though, a book that really takes a look at those animals which work to help improve the lives of the people in their community. Fortunately, Chris Williams has seen that void and has stepped up to the plate with his marvelous series.
One of the best things about this book is how rich it is in information. Mr. Williams has done a great job in researching what a search and rescue dog actually does and what kind of training these animals must undergo. It's also quite admirable that he takes the time to specifically cite certain websites in the back of the book. If a student desired to find out more about the subject, _Boone_ is an excellent place for them to begin their research. Not only that, but it is just a really great story for kids! The writing is crisp and clean. It isn't told in an overbearing or condescending manner; there's enough to keep the kid's attention and interest so that learning can actually be fun. I have a younger brother and sister, and they've really enjoyed Boone over and over.

Boone is another "Incredible" dog!,
By Book Lover Susie (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: One Incredible Dog! Boone (One Incredible Dog!) (Hardcover)
I never knew that Search and Rescue dogs did so many useful and interesting things. That is until I read ONE INCREDIBLE DOG! BOONE. Although I think girls will like this book, I feel that boys will appreciate it more--it has plenty of action! The illustrations are very good too; a unique use of black and white ink!
Having read both books in the ONE INCREDIBLE DOG series (the first being LADY), I like this one best. 5 stars!
