This book really gets into some detailed science, and I loved how accessible it was with all the images and examples. ( ) Besides the Dinosaur book, I also read the book as well. Again, this won't be the last of these I get. I'm in love with them. For a kid comic book about science, they are pack with information for adult readers as well. Plus, the art in this one particular is super cute. Kind of makes me want a dog. While this one has some ways to care for your dog, this is more about evolution and DNA. Parts of this book felt a little over my head, but like the Dinosaur book, I learned a lot too. Didn't realize how powerful a dogs sense of small was. Did you know they can tell a set of twins apart or that they can detect things like cancer and diabetes? That's pretty impressive. This is not just a graphic novel. Science comics are full of interesting information, detailed illustrations, use of topic and more. This particular one teaches about genetics, adaptations, breeding and evolution particularly with dogs. In this book we meet Rudy, a pet dog who visits the local dog park. Once there, he tries to play with his yellow ball. This ends up taking the reader through a history of canis lupus to canis familiaris. We meet several different breeds of dogs and how they came to be using genetics, evolution and adaptations. There is a lot of scientific detail within these pages. There is a lot of scientific vocabulary that is explained in the story as well as in the extensive glossary at the end of the book. This book is geared to older children, I would suggest 10 and up. It is a fun way to describe the process of evolution using dogs. The graphics are fun as well as informative. This would be a great book to use when teaching about genetics, evolution, adaptations, natural selection, and breading. It should be in all libraries, school and public. It is a great resource to teach these topics in a fun way. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
