The First Dog by Jan Brett

4.0

Kip the cave boy is headed home, and Wolf is following him, interested in the tasty food Kip is carrying. Along the way, Kip learns that Wolf can smell, hear, and see much better than he can, and they form a partnership resulting in The First Dog. Jan Brett’s beautiful illustrations bring the prehistoric setting to life. In terms that children can understand, The First Dog explores how domestication begins when people find animals and plants with useful traits and adaptations, making what might otherwise be a dry subject personally meaningful.
