My kids enjoyed this book

My kids enjoyed this book! They particularly liked the pictures. Combined with the story, this helped them learn about painted dogs and other animals in Africa, as well as some of the difficulties faced by painted dogs right now. It’s great to know that not only is this book educational, but it also supports conservation efforts!

Cherice

A beautiful and informative book that supports conservation

Painted Dog Pursuit tells the story of Kane, a painted dog living with his pack in Africa. When Kane goes for a hunt with his pack, we are introduced to elephants, giraffes, wildebeests, and lions. Thomas Block’s richly-colored, realistic illustrations pair nicely with Tammy’s short, informative text. Kane is separated from his pack and must find his way back to them, a theme all children will connect with. And while he does indeed reunite with his family, children will be disappointed that the hunters return to the rest of the pack without food, creating a teachable moment for those who want to build understanding and empathy for predators living in the wild. A “Did you know?” section on the final page gives five additional fun facts about painted dogs. The author is generously donating 100% of the book’s proceeds to painted dog conservation–a win-win for all!

The Kidlit Conservationist

Great book for kids!

Entertaining for kids, beautiful art within. It also gets African Wild Dog behavior just right. Relationships between predator-prey and between predators is complex, and PDP addresses this well. Wild dogs do not hunt just anything, balancing risk with reward, and must be cautious of lions. In the end, the pack is the greatest defense in the uncertain savanna. Looking forward to the next one.
