Chihuahua: Senor Tiny, by Natalie Lunis

Rating: Recommended
Bearport, 2009, $17.99
ISBN: 1597167436
Age/Grade Level: K-3

This book offers a combination of true heroic dog tales, historical references to the ancestors of the Chihuahua, and famous owners of this tiny dog. Delightful photographs and brief descriptions provide useful information about the character and habits of this fragile animal. The "dress-up" dog pictures will bring a smile, and when the reader is finished, he will know a great deal about this special little dog. The book feaures excellent photographs, as well as interesting sidebars, a glossary, and a list of online references.
