Award-winning author Marty Crisp writes books for children and adults. She's also an animal lover and has worked for a veterinary clinic and an animal shelter. In addition to writing books, she is also a journalist and has interviewed Newbery winner Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, literary legend John Updike, and has even covered concerts by performers such as Britney Spears and N'Sync.
Reviewed with Marty Crisp's Everything Dog.
Gr. 3-6. Why does my cat like catnip? Why can't dogs eat chocolate, and why do they sniff under each other's tails? These questions and more are answered in accessible photo-packed entries in the Kids' FAQs series that introduces facts by answering questions at the head of each chapter. The short sections are filled with interesting facts as well as speculations about pet behavior (Do dogs dream?). Occasionally the text seems a bit breezy: rabies, for example, is described simply as "a nasty virus that can be passed to humans." But kids will like the direct, chatty language and the question-and-answer format, which brings them right to the topics that will interest them most. Sharp color photos, many showing cats and dogs in whimsical poses, will attract plenty of browsers. Gillian Engberg
