I normally do not add books like this to my reviews, but I had to after reading it with my 14 year old daughter. This book is an amazing resource of information for those that love dogs or are just wanting to learn a little bit more about these beloved animals. It is filled with gorgeous pictures of beautiful dogs and goes into great detail about each breed. I had a lot of fun looking up our dogs in the encyclopedia and highly recommend this book for all libraries and schools. If it were not for my daughter I would have never stumbled upon this book and I have to give credit to the author and publisher for producing such a lovely piece of art and literature. I am very impressed as an educator and as a parent! Great job!!!!!! ( )

Great overview of all the different dog breeds. At times the information could have been a little more in depth but there are plenty of pictures to get an initial idea of what each dog looks like. If you want in depth information about a specific breed you should get one of those books that focus on one breed only. This book is for overview purposes only. ( )
