These short, long dogs were bred for the burrows. Instinctive diggers and protectors, Dachshunds should not be left alone outdoors. Instead, give them a pile of blankets to explore in your home. Hang with these hounds in this interesting title for reluctant readers.
'Dog books are an ever-popular staple of the non-fiction collection. If you have a lot of dog lovers, or just need a few titles to refresh your collection, this series is great for the younger grades. It has specific breed information (features that are easily recognizable) as well as comparative information (such as how easy a specific breed is to train compared to other dogs). Each entry also provides a history of the breed, including a world map, as well as a glossary, index and table of contents. THOUGHTS: Definitely for the younger students, this series has a larger font size and minimal writing on each page. But still it’s chock-full of facts and good quality images!', Emily Woodward, The Baldwin School
