Shelties believe they were born with a job to do. They are herding dogs, and will round up their families much like they would round up a flock of sheep. This breed with a purpose will show beginning readers how working hard and playing hard go together.
'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
