Reviews

Gr. 2^-4. Ever wonder why dogs pant, wag their tails, or chase cats? White answers these and some of the other questions that kids in her neighborhood have asked about her dog, Fred. A table of contents listing all 24 questions enables children to scan topics quickly and pinpoint areas of interest. The questions, which appear in bold type, are answered in factual but kid-friendly language, and the cute watercolor cartoon illustrations come in as wide a variety of shapes and sizes as their canine subjects. Although designed for young readers, this could also be used by older children as a model for bookmaking based on questions and follow-up research. Lauren Peterson
