Illustrated by

The goofy gang of strays returns, and their hunger has not waned. Here the pooches want to poach a pizza, and their preposterous ideas will not disappoint fans. As a character, Stick Dog is a model of patience and empathy, and all five dogs display deep loyalty to one another, despite their faults. Another pleasing, slapstick meta-journal-style story with simple black-and-white illustrations.
