Woof! (National Geographic Kids Readers, Level 3): 100 FUN Facts About Dogs, by Elizabeth Carney

(Paperback, 48 pages, first published in 2017)

Kids will dig learning all about dogs in this new National Geographic Kids Reader. The level 3 text provides accessible yet wide-ranging information for fluent readers. Plus, the book includes 100 fun facts for quick and quirky information on all kinds of dogs, from tiny Chihuahuas to gargantuan Great Danes! The Fact Readers bridge the gap between fun knowledge nuggets and informative sustained reading.

Considerations: Fact #37 states, "A study found that dogs were better able to follow human gestures to find hidden food than chimpanzees - our closest animal relatives - were." Storyglory reads this as a reference to the fact that humans and chimps share some genetic material, not as an evolutionary worldview.
