Tips For Using This Book


This diverse collection of images brings together a wide range of artists depicting a single theme, an approach that helps young children see how a favorite subject can look so different, yet so familiar. There are many great ways of using the pictures to encourage learning and spark interest, such as comparing one image to another, creating a simple story based on a favorite image, or asking engaging questions.
Here are some sample questions to get you started:


What is the puppy doing?
Does she look happy or sad? How can you tell?
How many dogs can you see?
Does a dog go “meow,” “ribbit,” or “woof”?
Do you have a favorite?
Which dog looks the biggest/smallest?
If this were your dog, what would you name him?


After looking at these beautiful images together, you may feel inspired to explore your local museum or library to find more images of dogs. Your child may even feel inspired to create his or her own masterpiece on the subject. At the end of this book you will find more information on the pictures, including where they can be viewed, if applicable. Happy looking!
