How are you? Welcome to March which means Spring is right around the corner and I will be able to get out and walk more. Would you like to come with me. if you do I will be bringing my Dog Pheobie with me. To make sure I’m prepared Charlie and I will be reading a new book from National Geographic Kids called Can’t Get Enough Dog Stuff I was lucky enough to receive a physical copy of the book in exchange for this review.
Charlie was so excited to sit down and browse through Can’t Get Enough Dog Stuff today. Now that he has finished looking through the book we’ve decided we will use this book in our Homeschool Studies when I complete our Lesson Plans on not only Dogs but Animals as well. Once we finish our studies I plan on taking my family on a Field Trip to a Pet Store, Veterinary Clinic and a Dog Shelter to volunteer to walk the dogs. Would you like to come with us?
Later on Charlie and I will go to the Library to check out more books and movies featuring dogs. While there Charlie will be able to ask the librarian if she has a copy of Can’t Get Enough Dog Stuff. If they don’t have the book the next time we go Charlie can bring his book to share with her. Then the librarian may decide to purchase a copy for the children’s library.
The next time my niece Lily and Jason came over Charlie can show them Can’t Get Enough Dog Stuff because they would like to get a dog someday. Which as long as they live in my sister’s home I don’t think will ever happen. But Charlie and I could purchase a Stuffed Dog for them to take care of after reading Can’t Get Enough Dog Stuff.
This morning Charlie went and got his dog Bear and his Blanket and I got Pheobie and my blanket then we snuggled down onto the couch to read Can’t Get Enough Dog Stuff. Can you believe we spent hours on the couch thumbing through the book sharing what we learned and why we liked the book so much. Charli asked me to let you know his favorite part of the book was all the cute photos of the dogs. David liked all the facts the Author included about Dogs and I liked how the book brought us all together allowing us to spend time together as a family.
Charlie wanted me to let you know if you’re thinking about getting a dog there is a section on preparing for doggies which even, we learned from although we’ve had our fur-babies for years. Did you know you can speak dog? If not, this book shows you how which Charlie thought was funny and has been doing this for days.
Be prepared because inside the book is a quiz you can use in Homeschool if your studying animals or pets like Charlie and I did. Make sure you take time to learn the jokes in the book which Charlie has been sharing with everyone we meet and I bet your kids will do the same thing. Before you ask no, this isn’t all you will find in the book which includes a glossary, but I didn’t want to share everything in the book with you because I want you to pick up your own copy of Can’t Get Enough Dog Stuff to share with your friends and family.
Can’t Get Enough Dog Stuff would make you think its a hard back book, but it is a paperback book that is so sturdy you will not have to worry about the pages falling out. At times the book reminded Charlie and I of a Comic Book or Graphic Novel. At other times the book reminded Charlie and I of a hard-back story book. Can’t Get Enough Dog Stuff is for middle schoolers and up but if parents wanted to share the photos with smaller children, they would enjoy looking at the dogs. Before you ask what about adults they will enjoy Can’t Get Enough Dog Stuff just as much as our children did. If you don’t believe me just ask David.
