Jackie's Barking Mad For This Book!


Introducing everyone's new best friend: Stick Dog!

He'll make you laugh . . . he'll make you cry . . . but above all, he'll make you hungry. Follow Stick Dog as he goes on an epic quest for the perfect burger.


Jackie says:
"This book is flat-out hilarious and will be tempting even for a reluctant reader. It would also be tons of fun to read aloud.  But what I really like about this is the message of being kind to your friends, working together, and respecting everything (except squirrels--you'll understand when you read it). I also an impressed at the emphasis (subtle, but clear) on vocabulary. Kids will learn something while they are laughing. Is there any way better to do it?"
