I had such high hopes for this book I love books about trivia and about cats and dogs so when when… Right? No this book is written as if the reader is privy to what the author meant when she wrote certain things not to mention there’s at least five links on each page which I think should’ve been put in the back of the book I found this book confusing hard to get into not to mention some links were put under the wrong heading and I just couldn’t get into it. The book also was all over the place and everywhere from cats teeth to the best breed there was no rhyme or the authors reason and sadly I would not recommend this book at all. Unless you love linkk and random thoughts. I want to thank the author for my free arc via NetGalley please forgive any mistakes I am blind and dictate my review.
Mixed thoughts about this one. My kids love cats and dogs, so they love the trivia questions and facts. But that’s about it, because the interior is so boring! The cover is cute, but the pages are so blank. It needs lots and lots if pictures!
A Woofing and Meowing Good Time with Dog and Cat Trivia by Dr Maryann Beebe-Ally is a fun nonfiction book loaded with jokes and trivia. The book is a cute easy read that has fun facts from beginning to end. I loved learning little facts, my favorite being what a cat purring does. The book also contains fun activities at the end. Definitely a fun fact filled quick read.
This isn't really a book meant to be read in a single sitting, but rather to be picked up and shared with loved ones for fun. There are so many cool facts I didn't know, like that dogs have more bones than cats but cats have a lot more vocal sounds. In the end, there are several fun word searching puzzles with great fun pet words. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this
I am a cat lover and have two cats at home. My students have got used to seeing my cats in front of the camera when I teach online. They are all cat lovers now. I think they will love this book. A minor complaint: I think there are slightly more pages on dogs than on cats.
This book caught my eye because of my love for all things cat related!
I liked the vast range of questions this book provided, and I did learn some new facts about cats and dogs, too.
The bonus wordsearches at the end were a nice touch, but they would have been better spread out through the book to break up the monotony of all the questions. After about 10 minutes, the book became a tad tedious and no longer held my attention. The pages just became too samey. It would have done wonders to have some illustrations running throughout for the kids to look at.
All-in-all, this is good for a quick 10 minute read to yourself or with the kids to have a little q&a time. It does recommend this up to 18 years of age, but I think it would be better suited for 8-12 year olds.
Thank you Netgally and BooksGoSocial.
My opinions are my own.
I love this trivia book for cats and dogs. I am a foster mom to kittens and I enjoy having bits of trivia. Some I did not know. As I work from home as a speech therapist, I often incorporate information about cats for my students as they are aware of my foster kitties. This book is perfect for an entire lesson plan based around trivia and can also introduce new vocabulary as well as learn about new and exciting breeds of dogs and cats. I will be using this for the duration of the year in my therapy sessions. Also, a five star bonus is the word search puzzles at the end
Thank you for the ARC of this great easy to read book. #netgalley #booksgosocial #drmaryannebeebeally
This was a cute trivia book with lots of interesting dog and cat facts. There are even some word search games in the back that focus on dog and cat breeds, adding an extra dimension to the learning experience.
The only thing missing are pictures. I would have loved some pictures to accompany the facts, especially when the trivia is about a specific breed. It would have really elevated and complimented the material.
A fun and educational learning experience.
This quiz book is full of interesting facts and is a fun activity however I wish it was formatted a bit more professionally and had less blank space. I think pictures would have helped enhance this with more information on a page and then a bibliography at the end of the book for all the links rather than citing them on every page
I have a dog and cat obsessed 11 year old girl at home and couldn't resist the urge to download this book full of trivia. We just took a look at it together and while she loves the trivia aspect, she wishes there were less links and more pictures in the book. She mentioned she wants to take this on our next road trip so she can quiz us on our dog and cat knowledge!
