Beagles

K-Gr 3—Between the heart-melting covers, readers will find a balanced look at each breed. An opening chapter encapsulates the breed with a single descriptor: beagles are friendly, bulldogs are loving, German shepherds are smart, and terriers are energetic. Physical and behavioral characteristics, history, varieties, and required care are all covered. One section discusses how ideal the dog is as a pet, including its comfort level with children. A unique feature of this series is an entire chapter focused on dogs in movies or cartoons and a concluding look at a famous example. Adorable full-page photos, along with smaller images, are silhouetted against white backgrounds. The strong visuals, controlled text, and abundant white space make these titles surefire hits for young dog owners and wannabes alike.
