title: The True-or-False Book of Dogs
author:  Patricia Lauber 
description: Grade 2-4-Lauber continues the series she started with The True-or-False Book of Cats (National Geographic, 1998) and The True-or-False Book of Horses (Morrow, 2000) with this entry that traces the long history of dogs. She opens with a brief discussion of the relationship between wolves and early humans, and describes how all dogs descended from the first domesticated wolves. Thirteen true-or-false statements follow, along with the information that allows readers to determine the answers. The topics addressed here are high interest and kid friendly: Do dogs hear more than people do? Did ancient Egyptians breed dogs as well as cats? Do dogs see what we see? Schanzer's bright illustrations are serviceable and the breeds are always identified, a touch that is sure to be appreciated by dog lovers. A lively look at an ever-popular topic.<BR><I>Kathleen Kelly MacMillan, Maryland School for the Deaf, Columbia</I><BR>Copyright &copy; Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
