Blog About Books Presented by National Geographic for Kids, DogEared is a blog about books—good books, funny books, adventure books; books about animals, friendship, pirates, faraway places . . . every kind of book that kids enjoy. Why is the site called “DogEared”? You know when you read a book and you turn the top edge of a page over to mark your place? That’s called a “dog-ear”! Students mark (“dog-ear”) the Web page so they can return to it often in order to read real kids’ reviews and recommendations. They also share their own opinions and create their own reading wish list—as if it were their own online book club.
