Curious about Dogs
Paperback
(Amicus Ink Sept. 1, 2020)
Why do dogs sniff each other's butts? Find out the answer and spark early readers' natural curiosity about pets with this inquiry-based nonfiction approach to dogs.
Of course, a dog's sense of smell is better than a human. But did you know they can smell 100 million times better? Or that their butts have scent glands and that's why they wag their tail? Featuring nine kid-friendly Q&As, curious elementary readers will learn about canine behavior, body language, and communication. Engaging and sometimes funny questions draw in even reluctant readers and research-based answers satisfy young animal lovers' curiosity.
Simple infographics call out stats and support visual learning. A Stay Curious! feature gives additional resources and doubles as a mini media literacy lesson that models inquiry skills. Includes a table of contents, glossary, and index.
