Arf! Beg! Catch!: Dogs from A to Z by Henry Horenstein

This delightful ABC book has made it into our library bag several times now.  We don't own a dog, but all three of my children love them. Horenstein's playful pictures of dogs in action not only gave us new words for each letter, expanding the kids' vocabulary, but we also got to see how many different types of dogs there are out there.

Arf! Beg! Catch! opened up all sorts of conversations about the different sizes, hair types, ears, teeth and abilities found in the world of dogs.
