“This is a gregarious introduction delivered in an appealing fashion. The glossy pages, shimmering with clean white backgrounds, draw attention to the fuzzy little buddies—and when the focus turns to chubby puppies? Well, it’s squealing time.”
“The parade of perennially popular canines continues! Blending paragraph length chapters with countless “aww”-inspiring photos, the latest volumes in the “Fetch” series preview the physical characteristics (height, weight, and coloring); early developments; preferred activities; and pop culture contributions of the breed in question.... At times more eye-catching than they are educational, these puppy installments, packed with concise sentences and trivia-style factoids, will nevertheless have reluctant readers and dog devotees hooked. ”
“Between the heart-melting covers, readers will find a balanced look at each breed. The strong visuals ... and abundant white space make these titles surefire hits.”
