I love puppies and labador's are wonderful dogs. Most kids love learning about and discussing dogs. Kids have endless fascination when I share information about my beloved pug. I love hearing about their dogs, too. it generally is a topic that can provide real happiness in our imperfect world.
I think it is a wonderful informational book for kids. I think all children like dogs and they would enjoy this book very much. It would be not only interesting for them, but also educational as far as dogs' life stages and developement.
