Dogs It barks, yaps, nuzzles, wags its tail when happy, cuddles and shows love by licking its master or mistress all over with its pink, wet tongue. Who do we mean?Why, the dog of course! For us people, dogs make faithful, lifelong friends. Indeed, the first tamed wolves walked at the side of prehistoric hunters 35,000 years ago.

"I learned so many things from this book! For example, dolphins often rescued people from ships that had sunk. There was even a dolphin who helped ships find what they were looking for! I also learned that in ancient Greece, instead of using barbells to exercise, people simply picked up cows! The illustrations in this book were very fun. Overall, I had an awesome time reading this book, and I was surprised a lot!" -Kids Book Buzz
