Hot Diggity Dog: The History of the Hot Dog

32 pp. | Dutton | May, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-525-47897-3 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Elwood H. Smith. This exuberant look at the 523-year-old (give or take) hot dog provides a historical backdrop to the economical, no-fuss food. The text describes the frank's evolution from sausage and examines its enduring popularity. One senses that Sylver and Smith, who supplies gag-filled cartoony art, could make the history of lint entertaining. Sidebars share additional facts; two recipes are included. Reading list, websites. Bib.
