Gr 3–6—Opening with Seaman, the Newfoundland who accompanied Lewis and Clark on their adventures, and going on to cover the role of the Pekingese in China's Boxer Rebellion, the first guide dog in the United States, and more, this title chronicles the lives of a number of legendary canines throughout world history. The chapters are well organized and chock-full of photos and other design elements to keep readers' interest. The text is accessible and bursting with energy; readers will be captivated by tales of how these four-legged friends race sleds or sniff out bombs and other hazardous materials.
VERDICT Sure to be a hit with dog lovers and kids looking for a dip into history.
