The immediate draw of this book is clearly the wonderful pictures of puppies! There are Papillions napping, Golden Retrievers romping, and Pugs making puppy dog eyes, but there is also a lot of good information about dogs and their habits. There is information about the fact that puppies are born in litters, with statistics about the largest litter, and a great timeline ofwhat puppies look like after they are first born, and how they grow. Did you know that puppies reach maximum cuteness at around two months, when they are usually adopted? There is also a little bit of information about human and dog interactions, and the fact that puppies love to be talked to.

Good Points

National Geographic books always have excellent photographs, and this is definitely true in this book. The pages, though only about 7"x 7", are packed with lots of details, so this would be a great book to stick in a diaper bagto use to distract small children. The cover might need reinforcing; it's paper over board, and the copy I received had a couple of small rips. This will not hold up to being chewed on by either young children or puppies! The small size makes it easy to cover with clear contact paper.

There are a number of books in the So Cute! series, including titles about pandas, penguins, and koalas, and are a great nonfiction accompaniment to dog books like Ahn's Pug Pals, Soderberg's Puppy Pirates, Higgins' Good Dog books, and Clarke's Dr. Kittycat series (there are plenty of other animals in those, including dogs!). This is also not a bad book to have on hand for adults who have had a particularly trying day and don't want to look at any more computer screens in order to see cute puppies!
