Rosalie Davidson writes: "I wanted to be a journalist, but observed a first grade class in Denver, fell in love with the children, and went back to school to get a degree in education. I taught a third grade summer class of boys who were poor readers. I asked them what they wanted to read about. They said `Dinosaurs!' So I read about dinosaurs--told them each day what I'd read....We each wrote our own dinosaur book! I feel that many science books talk down to primary children, or try to entertain them with funny things. Children want to know the facts, that's entertainment enough for them. I have worked with children for twenty-nine years. I understand their reading vocabulary, their interests and the importance of helping them develop accurate concepts."
About "Who is Root Beer?":
"Four insects, Bee, Ant, Bug, and Butterfly, find an empty root beer can and, in their search for its owner, become fast friends."
