Search and Rescue Dogs on the Job
Likely to appeal to dog lovers, but overall an uneven effort.
Each of these winning volumes features a different kind of working dog, first summarizing the main jobs they perform, the best breeds for a task, length of training, and famous dogs who have performed these roles. The books then profile a couple of real on-the-job dogs and detail how each canine was trained. Appealing color photos and closing discussion questions accompany each entry. There are four other spring 2017 books in this series. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind.
The Doorman's Repose
Plots about pigeon tenders, insomniac men, and old-fashioned elevators are not likely to grab the attention of young kids on their own, but this will make a good match for the right readers and also serve as an excellent recommendation for adults reading aloud to children.
Fish
Plenty of factual and visual content to engage readers, despite flaws. An additional selection.
Broad information on insects is arranged by subject--e.g., classification, diet, senses, helpful insects--in two-page sections. Each busy spread includes a sampling of related words and their definitions and small but clear stock photos printed over a large background photo. Some terms may need further context for understanding, but the cursory volume provides a good starting point for gleaning information. Reading list.
200-Year-Old Bowhead Whales!
Solid species treatments with an eye-catching hook that is sure to attract browsers.
Armstrong and Charlie
This uplifting and touching exploration of friendship, with a vivid setting, is a solid addition to most middle school libraries.
The Dog Encyclopedia for Kids
An appealing and accessible introduction to the subject and recommended for those seeking additional materials on canines.
