Dessert First

153 pp. | Atheneum | May, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-6385-1 $14.99
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Christine Davenier. Third grader Dessert loves her teacher, Mrs. Howdy Doody, her warm, wacky, fondue restaurant–owning family, and her namesakes--especially Double-Decker Chocolate Bars. Sacrificing dessert for a school fundraiser, the spirited protagonist learns valuable lessons about life--and her favorite course. Quirky characters and stylish pen and ink-wash illustrations enliven the sweet tale.
