Reach for this book when your child asks why their gentle family dog sometimes acts like a wild animal, or when they express a budding interest in biology and the natural world. It serves as a perfect bridge for children who love their pets but are beginning to explore the more complex scientific concepts of evolution, instinct, and animal behavior. By comparing the familiar domestic dog to its wild wolf ancestors, the book satisfies a child's natural curiosity about how the world is organized and connected. Schwartz uses clear, accessible language to explain differences in communication, life cycles, and physical traits. It is an ideal choice for building a scientific vocabulary while reinforcing a sense of wonder toward the animal kingdom. Parents will appreciate the way it validates a child's observations of their own pets, turning everyday play into a learning moment about biology and adaptation.
