"Young children ask questions to make sense of the world. That's the heart of learning. Michael Dahl has taken this natural inquisitiveness and created a series of books that are ideal for reading aloud to children. Do Dogs Make Dessert? is a book about how animals help humans. Each right-hand page has a question like, "Do elephants make dessert?" When the reader turns the page, he or she will see the answer to the question. This format allows the students to make predictions when the teacher reads the book aloud. Scientific facts about what animals actually do are also included to extend the concepts. The repetitive questions, simple language and appropriate pictures also make this an ideal book for children to read for themselves after a group introduction. Near the end of the book are simple sentences with pictures to support the book's theme and a special code for the "Facthound" website. Users can go to the Facthound website and use the code to find more sites about animals. As teachers read this book aloud to primary students, they model questioning strategies that help early readers leap into informational text. The book could complement a study of how animals help humans in science, or become a model for predictive books the children write themselves." - NSTA Recommends/Science and Children magazine
