Curious about Dogs - Paperback

by M. K. Osborne (Author)

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.
