Owning a pet can teach a child responsibility, patience, confidence, and the satisfaction of a job well done--and best of all, it's fun Over 60 inventive activities and crafts such as Can Do Canine Show and Dog Day Story teach kids about taking care of their pooch pal while promoting a long-lasting relationship. Games such as musical chairs, burying bones together, and throwing a frisbee and flyball; fun things to make such as a rag rug, a pooch pillow, and a puppy bed; and yummy treats to cook such as crunchy dog biscuits and a dog food cake get kids involved with taking care of their dog's needs while teaching healthy care-giving techniques and fostering a deep friendship. In addition, A Dog's Best Friend includes information about dog obedience training; a reading list of children's animal books; listings of Web sites, pet-care resources, and animal organizations and events; and amusing trivia for dog lovers.
Kid-friendly illustrations and very simple, practical advice will enable families to welcome a dog or a puppy into their lives with love, understanding, and responsibility. This is the best book I've seen for parents and kids to comprehend their pet's needs. It should be offered to anyone wanting their children to develop the qualities of commitment and responsibility along with the sheer fun of sharing their lives with an animal. And the drawings and activities are very, very sweet.
AN INFORMATIVE, FUN AND THOROUGHLY ENJOYABLE BOOK!!
