Horn Book Review
These clean-looking volumes wisely focus on photos, with large, clear, and adorable images of the given breed on each spread. Friendly text (dachshunds "look like hot dogs") introduces readers to each breed's characteristics, personality, and care, and gives famous examples from movies and television (Frank in Men in Black, Gidget in Taco Bell commercials). These are age-appropriate overviews for current and future pet owners. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.

Booklist Review
The parade of perennially popular canines continues! Blending paragraph-length chapters with countless aww -inspiring photos, the latest volumes in the Fetch! series preview the physical characteristics (height, weight, and coloring); early development; preferred activities; and pop-culture contributions of the breed in question. Chihuahuas stars the world's smallest and North America's oldest breed. Originating in Mexico and popularized by films like Legally Blonde, Chihuahuas, best suited to apartment living, excel at snuggling and occasional dancing (a real trick!). At times more eye-catching than they are educational, these peppy installments, packed with concise sentences and trivia-style factoids, will nevertheless have reluctant readers and dog devotees hooked.--Shemroske, Briana Copyright 2018 Booklist
