Sniffer Dogs: How Dogs (and Their Noses) Save the World Paperback – July 11, 2017

Just finished looking through this book. Our grandchildren will be most interested in this. The oldest grandson, a teenager, has a diabetic alert dog (black lab), and the whole family is loving this dog. They will certainly enjoy reading about many other heroic dogs.

Fun and educational. Entertaining for all ages with perhaps a little reading help.

Such a wonderful and informative book for dog lovers of every age. A beautiful tribute to our canine heroes!

Quick enough delivery, excellent condition, good story. I didn't read it, but my niece told me that she had started reading it and was enjoying it.

A very interesting book about all of the kinds of dogs that use their noses. I learned a lot from it.

Really interesting book. I'm not sure who enjoys it more, my six year old or me!

Purchased this brand new and the book I got was definitely used. Looks like someone blew their nose and wiped it all over the book.

For 4th-7th grade independent reading. Interesting content that may be unfamiliar to many readers - a dog that can smell peanuts and alert a child that has a peanut allergy? Nicely organized into types of expertise - dogs that find live missing persons, dogs that find remains of persons, dogs that sniff out bombs and so forth. Each chapter is tightly focused.The reason I gave this four stars is the text features were not as strong as they might have been - mostly pictures of dogs sitting. I wish the photographs had provided additional or supportive content. The diagram of the dog's nasal cavity on page 21 was weak; more labels like ones for "muscles in the nostrils," "scent particles," and where "deeper back into the nasal cavity" is exactly would have been helpful. There was only one other diagram in the book.Despite the weak features, I'd still book talk this with the students--read aloud the first few pages, share some of the photographs-- and then place it prominently in my classroom library for independent reading. You could prompt for some careful rereading by asking the students to respond in writing, comparing two types of dogs or asking students to think about the author's central message and how this is developed across the chapters.
