Stick Dog

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Ethan Long. Stick Dog and his fellow stray friends take turns devising ridiculous plans to snatch freshly grilled hamburgers from a picnicking family. In this meta-journal-style story illustrated with black-and-white cartoons, each dog's personality is well defined; the humor is slapstick silly but not crude; and the resolution is sweetly satisfying. Readers will be eager for the next installment.
