The Poodle and the Blue Desert Dunes instructor manual contains the full text of the student book, plus special boxes and bubbles filled with information that instructors can share with students to enhance their learning. In addition to providing answers to the end-of-chapter quizzes, the book also includes an instructor section, where Michael explains his approach to phrases at the introductory level that this book offers while still giving children a thorough immersion in them within the memorable context of a delightfully sweet story.
