Bow-Wow
A dog narrator leads readers through the basics of working canines in these introductory surveys. With a large, clear font and just two or three simple sentences per page, the books are squarely aimed at younger readers. The dog point of view works fairly well, despite occasional forays into emotion over information (“It’s the best job ever!”). General components of the dog’s tasks are covered in the main text, while fact boxes provide more specific details, such as statistics, definitions, and related bits of information. Most photos directly support the text. Not all of the facts shared are terrifically exciting, but the series succeeds as accessible introductions to intriguing canine workers.
