About the book...
This book gives you insight as to how a variety of animals train and learn so they can work in different capacities to make the world a better and safer place.
The wonderful expressive illustrations and simple text showcase who goes to school and why. The book zooms in on an obedience school for dogs, canine units being educated to help police officers in their jobs, rescue dogs - such as St. Bernards who find injured victims of accidents in dangerous, snowy terrain, and seeing-eye dogs who are faithful companions to the blind ... just to name a few.
Who else goes to school? Why kids of course. It reinforces the message that school is a very fun place to be.
