BoxersDog Books for KidsTable of ContentsIntroductionChapter 1 Early HistoryChapter 2 Fascinating Features & CareChapter 3 Amazing Boxers facts Conclusion A Family's best friendAuthor BioIntroductionHappiness is a warm puppy. ― Charles M. Schulz Boxers are fun loving dogs with a heart of gold. At first glance, they may seem imposing with a hidden message of ‘see but don’t touch’ — that is until their joy and boundless energy comes shining through!This short haired, stocky breed comes from Germany. A mix between an Old English Bulldog and the Bullenbeisser (Now extinct), this breed is a part of the working group of dogs. After World War I, Boxers arrived to the United States, and became a lovable companion to many dog owners. Despite their origins, it is not a surprise to hear Boxers called the “Peter Pan” of the dog world. This label is quite accurate because this breed of dog takes a long time to mature into adulthood. Usually they are considered mature when they are three years old! So you will enjoy their puppy like antics for a few years. Typical Boxers are smart, funny, alert and loyal. They are also friendly, (although wary with strangers until they warm up) and will go to great lengths to please you. However, it is important to note these wonderful qualities hide a stubborn streak that could outlast your patience! Thankfully, this type of behavior is not common, and is the result of inappropriate training methods.Mental and physical exercise is required for this breed. This does not mean he / she cannot live in an apartment with you. They can adapt as long as you are there to spend time with them and provide the required exercise. This breed is gentle with children and a wonderful playmate for them. Boxers also love hugs, pats, kisses and rubs. The more the merrier! There is no doubt their clownish behavior, goofy antics, crazy faces and boundless energy will bring a smile to your face, and a warm feeling to your heart. For these reasons and more, Boxers are highly recommended as a loyal companion well deserving of the title… man’s best friend!

They have outstanding characteristics, and excel in almost anything they do.

They are used in law enforcement, serving with police and even the military. They also help with special needs. For example: With those who are handicapped and require constant attention. However, their skills do not end there. Does the name Rin-Tin-Tin ring a bell? He was quite famous and appeared in many movies and shows. He was so popular he received hundreds of fan letters, sometimes thousands per week! And after the World Trade Center disaster, faithful German shepherd dogs risked their lives to comfort rescue workers and help find those who were missing. German shepherds are also excellent watchdogs. Their alert and often suspicious nature, can serve to protect both you and your family from strangers.

Well, if they do not get the attention they need their boredom (even frustration) will shine through, with lots of barking and chewing. Depending on how loud it gets, it may drive you up the wall!Despite this aspect of their personality, there is no doubt German Shepherds are amazing dogs, and a wonderful asset to any home. And with proper training and loving attention, they will stand by you through thick and thin. Not a bad description to add to the list of… man’s best friend!

When a baby marsupial is born, it is too weak and frail to live outside. Instead, it crawls inside a pouch in the mother’s body where it can be warm and protected. It stays there until it grows big enough to go outside.Kangaroos and koalas are marsupials. Most of the Australian animals in this book are marsupials. Marsupials live in other parts of the world too.A young marsupial is usually called a joey. You can sometimes see a joey sticking its head out of its mother’s pouch. All marsupials are mammals. This means that the young ones drink milk from their mother’s body. Joeys do this while inside their mother’s pouch.Read more animal books at http://AmazingAnimalBooks.com

Smilodon - Saber-toothed TigerTable of ContentsChapter 1: AppearanceChapter 2: BehaviorChapter 3: EnvironmentConclusionAuthor Bio IntroductionGreetings young reader! Today we are going to take a step back in time and enter the age of prehistoric mammals. Mammals are animals with hair or fur that secrete milk for their babies, and typically give birth to live young as opposed to laying eggs. These prehistoric mammals are an extinct species of animal that began to live on the Earth about 2.5 million years ago. Some of them still thrived as recently as 10,000 years ago. “Extinct” means that they no longer exist. These prehistoric mammals are some of the most intriguing and awe-inspiring animals that have existed on our planet. The prehistoric mammals’ strange shapes, sizes, and behaviors make them inherently worthy of study and interest. Even more than these reasons, the study of these mammals itself is an incredible adventure which requires thought and imagination. The study of prehistoric animals helps you to appreciate just how mysterious nature really is. Our planet supports not only us and the animals that live today, but it even supported creatures as gigantic and strange as the giant sloths and huge cave dwelling bears- just think how cool that is! I hope that you bring a spirit of openness and wonder to your study of the prehistoric animals, and that you come to appreciate the mystery and value of this imaginative adventure.
