(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Dave Whamond. A dog-washing fundraiser turns into a sci-fi adventure when alien dog people attempt to take the children back to their planet as pets. Hot Dog and Bob again team up to stop the aliens and save Earth. A humorous if formulaic story line and comic black-and-white illustrations will please young readers.

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Dave Whamond. Ordinary boy Bob has been chosen by mighty alien leader Big Bun to be the partner of a superhero hot dog. The two save Bob's school (and the planet) from invading pizza- and pencil people. Exuberant black-and-white comic illustrations match the text's frenetic pace in these funny but formulaic stories, which are likely to appeal to fans of Captain Underpants. Review covers these titles: Hot Dog and Bob and the Particularly Pesky Attack of the Pencil People and Hot Dog and Bob and the Seriously Scary Attack of the Evil Alien Pizza Person.
