Dogs: From Predator to Protector by Andy Hirsch

4.0

Very well done, a (reasonably) accessible introduction to genetics. I felt the focus of the book was more on genetics than it was on dogs, more that it was using dogs as a specific example of genetics rather than being about dogs in general, but that might have been my own expectations of the book. It was definitely felt more intense than some of the other Science Comics series we have read. I ended up doing this one as a read-aloud to my first grader, whereas some of the others he has read on his own. We both enjoyed it, and I learned a lot. I'm pretty sure large chunks of it went over his head, but you never know what's going to stick and help to create understanding later.
