D is for Dogs and Donuts (and a doggy donut recipe)

My students love reading Laura Numeroff”s books and one of their favorites is If You Give a Dog a Donut. Like the other If You Give…  books, this one was illustrated by Felicia Bond,who happens to be one of my favorite children’s illustrators. This demanding dog and his patient, accommodating boy have a busy day as all requests lead from one thing to another. My students love this book. It is playful with baseball, pirates, and kite flying until it comes full circle. The children are always satisfied with the ending and eager to write their own If you give… stories.

Dogs are very much a part of A Field Trip Life and they often accompany us on pet friendly field trips. What dog wouldn’t want a donut? These are nice dog treat and kids can easily help  bake them:

    This looks like a cute book. I think some of my grandchildren would enjoy it. Thank you for making me aware of it. Good luck with the A to Z Challenge. This is my first year.
