Kid’s Corner: ABC Dogs by Lili Chin

#ABCDogs #NetGalley

I recently read and reviewed Chin’s book, Ten Happy Dogs, which was adorable. Now I get the chance to see more of the artist’s work in thisalphabet book. Note that this cute title is a board book that is perfect for little ones to hold.

From Akita for A through to Zerdava for Z, kids can learn their letters with a dog for each one. Personally, I thought that the Corgis were very cute.

In addition to the illustrations, each entry includes facts about a breed.

Adults and children can enjoy looking at this book together.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press for this title. All opinions are my own.
