Dogs (National Geographic Kids: Look & Learn)

PreS-K--This series features titles about dogs and transportation, perennially popular subjects that will have no trouble attracting pre-readers. With bright backgrounds and crisp photos, the small volumes pack in a good deal of information. Both titles offer simple definitions followed by specific examples in context and question prompts to spark dialogic reading. Things That Go features helpful labeling, such as the parts of a car (taillight, wheel, window, headlight), while Dogs includes miniature "Guess What?" sidebars with fun factoids ("Dogs with light-colored coats can get sunburned, just like people!"). Fun and informative.
