Sarah Whitehead - All books by this author Kids and puppies make natural friends. This heavily illustrated guide is written especially for kids, with information on dogs and how they develop and grow. Just as important are easy-to-understand instructions for boys and girls on puppy training and carealways with an emphasis on fun. Kids learn what to feed puppies and how much to give them, and how to play games that are safe and enjoyable. They also learn basics of puppy handling and grooming, giving commands and teaching obedience, tricks they can teach young canines, and much more. There are instructive and charming full-color photographs throughout the book. Suitable for ages 9-12, or 4-8 with parents' guidance. From the reviews: “This book was long overdue. How often do parents simply get a puppy because little Susie or Johnny is begging for one? The pup comes home and the parents end up doing all the work. This book offers a definitive way for kids to participate. Any family with kids ages 7 to 14 and planning to get a dog should buy this book. While it’s easy to read, the author doesn’t talk down to kids. The content is as valuable as that in any dog-training book for adults. Soon, the kids will be explaining canine behavior to Mom and Dad.” Steve Dale, Boston Herald, November 11, 2001 (0764119400) Paperback / 96 Pages / 7 x 9 / 2001 | ||
