Children will immediately identify with Oscar, a little "wiener" dog
with many of his own problems. Because of his unusual shape and size, the rest of
the dog and cat community often teases Oscar. To make matters enen worse,
Oscar's mother surprises him with a homemade Halloween costume. The hot
dog costume, complete with mustard and a bun, is not exactly what Oscar
had in mind. Not wanting to hurt his mother's feelings, Oscar decides to
wear the costume, even though he knows the reaction it will evoke from
his friends. Burdened by the size of his costume, Oscar tries to
trick-or-treat with his friends despite incessant teasing and hounds who
take all the treats before Oscar can make it to the houses. Oscar feels
that all is lost. Suddenly, a ghastly monster appears and frightens the
dogs so much that they jump into a nearby pond to hide. Because of his
short stature, Oscar is able to discover the true identity of the
monster and expose it as a couple of ornery cats. Oscar rescues his
friends and becomes a hero. The colorful illustrations and rich language
compliment this hilarious tale. Readers will cheer for Oscar as he goes
from a "Wiener Dog" to a "Hero Sandwich." This Halloween children's book is for kids reading levels ages 4-8. Leave us your comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
