Science Comics: Dogs

kids like it

Gorgeous illustrations. Very informative. A great way to get reluctant readers interested in science. I have read the Dogs, the Dinosaurs, the Plague, the Volcanoes, and the Bats editions of Science Comics. Dogs, Dinosaurs, and Bats are the best. There is something to learn and enjoy for all ages. What I like best is the historical notes (telling you what people knew or thought of the subject at different points in history) and how various theories are presented (such as evolution, behavior of extinct animals, etc.). I enjoyed the Zoo Books series as a kid (covering different animals) and I think these Science Comics are even better than those.

My 8 year old son loves this series. He has read this book multiple times. He especially loves the comic-book style with vivid pictures. There is a lot of content, so when he re-reads, he is learning more and more.

Great book! Gifted it to my 8 year-old twin nephews. They're brainy kids so they loved the comics & learning about science of biology. Great way to introduce basics of biology & absolutely engaging for dog fans. Some words (such as scientific terminology) can prove a bit difficult for early elementary/pre-school age kids, but it does offer explanation on what they means.

She enjoyed the story was told by a dog and learned lots of new information about dogs. She has asked for the cat version as well.
