review 1: It would be hard for me not to like a book with a title like Dessert First. The main character goes by the name Dessert and loves eating her dessert before the rest of her dinner. Dessert's sweet tooth gets her into big trouble with her parents, but she manages to make things right. I thought that Dessert was a great character. I think that kids who like the Clementine series would also love this book.
review 2: It was a simple book about a girl entering third grade where she meets her eccentric teacher Mrs. Howdy Doody. Mrs. Howdy Doody teachers her students that they need to march to their own drum. She is heading a fund raiser to build a tree house at the school. Students are asked to give up something for two weeks and find people to sponsor them. Dessert's... more parents own a Fondue Restaurant and have enough children to keep them busy. Dessert decides they should eat dessert first because she is marching to her own drum and the parents disagree. She finally convinces them to eat dessert first and they find that dinner time is more peaceful. When her mother makes a delicious treat for a special occassion Dessert eats it. She finds a creative way to fix the situation, keep her pledge of giving up what is most precious for two weeks. less
