Review quotes

"Combine science information, activities, and good pictures and you have the core components of this title...The book is informative and will appeal to dog lovers especially. It is another well-done work from a typically reliable publisher." — School Library Connection

"This vivid volume lays out two dozen or so exercises that double as experiments, the goal of which is to better understand canine senses and physiology. The experiments are well described, with step-by-step instructions and photos. Most are easy to set up and only require household items. Exceptional photography accompanies the instructions and help readers understand the activity." — Science Magazine
