“Why Are Dogs’ Noses Wet? And Other True Facts”, by Howie Dewin

Review by Pam Marr Rybinski

This short (30 pages) beautifully illustrated Scholastic paperback booklet has answers to a lot of things people might want to know about dogs, the authors “pawmise!”

In question and answer format, the book addresses important mysteries such as why dogs bury bones, wiggle their ears, or shed. Some of the answers may be surprising.

Periodically “The Dogs” present an interesting fact about famous dogs. All told “THE DOG” series has appeal for the early reader as well as offering quick reads for young-at-heart readers of all ages.
