The Puppy Place: Guide to Puppies by Ellen Miles –OPTIONAL


Miles, The Puppy Place: Guide to Puppies 80 pgs. Scholastic Paperbacks, 2013. $5.39.  Content: Language: G (0 swears);  Mature Content: G ;  Violence: G.
A simple guide to choosing and caring for a new pet dog. Features short chapters on planning, getting set up, basic needs, basic training, vet and more. Includes many photographs and illustrations from the Puppy Place series.
I sort of see this as more of a companion to the Puppy Place series, if you have it, or even as a gift. It’s not going to be a great book for your dog section, since its so small and not quite laid out for a book that would see a lot of circulation. But it does contain lots of sound advice, such as picking a breed that is the right fit for your family. The photographs are fun and well chosen.
