Educational Children’s Books About Dogs
Doggie Language, book by Lili Chin
This small and wonderful book is an awesome, easy-to-read illustrated guide to seeing and understanding your family dog’s subtle visual cues and interpreting your dog’s behaviors to communicate. The more we notice and listen to what our dogs are trying to tell us, the more we can improve our relationship with our best friends, helping them to feel safe and happy.
National Geographic Kids Everything Dogs, book by Becky Baines
Kids will learn all about the characteristics that define dogs, their daily lives, the different breeds, and much, much more!
Puppy Training For Kids, book by Colleen Pelar
Young readers will find advice on exercise, selecting chew toys, clicker training, teaching the puppy to meet both human and animal friends, and much more. Sidebar features advise
parents on guiding their children toward responsible dog ownership. The book is filled with engaging and instructive color photos.
Crafts And Activities For Kids Who Love Dogs
These fun crayons are perfect for dog loving kids. They are made by Etsy seller KagesKrayons. Each box comes with the standard ROYGBV colors (plus black).
Little Animal Chef Apron & Hat Sets, dog and cat themed
How fun for your child to have a pet themed apron and hat, to encourage helping in the kitchen! These
are from Uncommon Goods.
This 500-piece collage of cuteness begins with your choice of 12 different illustrated 
pooches inspired by popular breeds. Then add the names of both your child and their furry BFF, and you’ve created a touching tribute to your four-legged family member.
I love everything that Cincinnati entrepreneur and dog mom, Melinda Kirk Stenger, has
created – from recipe books to these DIY easy-to-make dog themed cakes. By the way, you can read more about Melinda from this blog post I wrote several years ago.
