I thought this book was good. It was really funny at a lot of times and I like funny books. The book is about five dogs who want a hamburger. They do a lot of hard work to make plans to get the hamburgers. Most of the thoughts and plans are SO HILARIOUS they don't even sound possible. But their has to be at least one plan that has to work,doesn't their. Read stick dog to find out. I recommend this book to people who love funny books. Stick Dog lives under a bridge and is quite happy there. He hangs out with his dog friends, Mutt, Poo-poo and Karen. When the group smells hamburgers cooking in the park, they make plans to steal them, and have many humorous attempts to get them from the family. These include some spats with squirrels, thinking Karen is missing and planning a memorial to her, and stealing potato chips out of a trash can. Will Stick Dog and his friends ever get the hamburgers? The sequel, not surprisingly, is called Stick Dog Wants a Hot Dog. (8 October 2013).Strengths: This is a notebook novel, although we are dutifully warned that the pictures are awful and that the artist can't draw. I will put this in the library because I can never have enough notebook novels. Weaknesses: The whole plot is centered around the dogs getting the hamburgers. No character development, not much of a plot, and a deus ex machina ending. Clearly, I am not the target demographic for this title.
