Book Reviews of How to Talk to Your Dog

Book Review: This Gift is going to every dog owner we know!
Summary: 5 Stars

Found this with complete luck in a she-she foo-foo gift shop in Carmel. We knew immediatley that this author knew what she was talking about! We have 2 welsh corgi sisters that cause us so much joy and grief! This info will be a good compliment to the info we gained from going to the animal reader, totally not kidding! May the force be with us as we all work to further our relationships with our dogs!

Summary of How to Talk to Your Dog

Find out what your dog is really saying -- and talk back!

Jean Craighead George, Newbery Medal -- winning author of over 80 books about nature and animals, demonstrates in words and photos how to communicate with your best friend.


Dog talk is not merely whimpers, growls, sniffs, barks, and howls. According to award-winning author Jean Craighead George, it's in the tail ("the flag of feelings") and ear twists, too. In this irresistible picture book, you'll learn how to speak to your dog in his or her own language. Sniff his nose to say hello, for example. (You don't have to lick back, even though it would please him.) While you'll never be a match for your dog in the sniffing department, you can look deeply into his eyes or you can whimper to show you care. Don't growl or bark, however. ("Although it's fun, it is not very rewarding to bark at your dog. He doesn't understand your bad accent and may twist his head and look at you in confusion.")

Sue Truesdell's splendidly doggish illustrations interact with photos of Jean Craighead George herself--a woman who has been around dogs her whole life. Dog lovers of all ages will run in circles for this loving, funny celebration of the human-canine relationship. For those who prefer cats, investigate the companion title, How to Talk to Your Cat. (Ages 7 to 107)
