Why? How? What if? So when her science teacher, Ms. Curie, assigns a project about zoology, Cece has the perfect question: Do dogs eat vegetables? Working from their tree house lab, Cece and her best friend, Isaac, investigate, research, and collect and analyze data, using Cece\u2019s adorable (and hungry!) dog, Einstein, as their case study.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In their picture book debut, authors <strong>Kimberly Derting<\/strong> and <strong>Shelli R.

Johannes\u00a0never warmed up to creepy crawly bugs, but she always loved zoology and biology. In fact, she can often be found on highways and country roads saving strays and other jaywalking critters, or volunteering with animal conservation groups like the Atlanta Zoo, the Dolphin Project, and animal rescue centers. Unfortunately she learned early on that chemistry (aka cooking) was not her favorite science, often resulting in odd reactions and minor explosions. She lives in Atlanta with her husband, two kids, one bird, one fish, and two crazy-haired Doodles who, just like Einstein, all who seem to love fruit and dessert, but loathe veggies.
