Stick Dog Wants a Hot Dog Audiobook Summary

Perfect for fans of the Dog Man, Big Nate, Timmy Failure, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, Stick Dog and his friends are back, and they’re hungrier than ever!

As the dogs embark on their quest for hot dogs, they learn they’re not the only ones on a mission–a band of raccoons is following close behind, and they’re ravenous, too!

In this second book in the series, Stick Dog and his four friends, Poo-Poo, Mutt, Stripes, and Karen, must execute a master plan for stealing hot dogs. The closer they get to the hot dog vendor, the more difficult their mission becomes.

The five dogs are met with many funny challenges along the way, including having to distract the frankfurter guy and Karen getting locked in a human’s house. No matter what, these dogs have their eyes–and stomachs–on the prize.

With hilarious text, reluctant readers will eat this one up!

Other favorites in the series include Stick Dog Dreams of Ice Cream, Stick Dog Chases a Pizza, and many more!

Stick Dog Wants a Hot Dog Audiobook Narrator

Andrew Eiden is the narrator of Stick Dog Wants a Hot Dog audiobook that was written by Tom Watson

Tom Watson lives in Chicago with his wife, daughter, and son. He also has a dog, as you could probably guess. The dog is a Labrador-Newfoundland mix. Tom says he looks like a Labrador with a bad perm. He wanted to name the dog “Put Your Shirt On” (please don’t ask why), but he was outvoted by his family. The dog’s name is Shadow. Early in his career Tom worked in politics, including a stint as the chief speechwriter for the governor of Ohio. This experience helped him develop the unique, storytelling narrative style of the Stick Dog books. More important, Tom’s time in politics made him realize a very important thing: Kids are way smarter than adults. And it’s a lot more fun and rewarding to write stories for them than to write speeches for grown-ups.

I rate this one 5 stars because Stick Dog and his friends see a hot dog stand so they want to eat them. Then they meet a raccoon that they think is a thief. It's interesting and fun to see a dog make a plan. It doesn't have too many words and it isn't that hard to read but it's really fun and funny.

The second Stick Dog book was another hit with my 3 year old. We listen in the car and sometimes during lunch if we are sick of each other ;)

I really liked all the funny ways stick dog and his gang was to try and get the hot dogs from the hot dog stand.

It was a really funny book with funny characters that have wild imaginations

So much funny, mostly in the form of the narrator's voice and Stick Dog's patient, diplomatic interactions with his four bumbling friends (he has . . . I guess you wouldn't say "people skills" but "dog skills"), to whom he is unfailingly loyal despite the ways they continually make it difficult for him to realize his single-minded goal of obtaining food. While Stick Dog has laser focus, a long attention span, a strong grasp of logic, and insight into the world of humans, his companions are entirely lacking in any and all of those qualities. So their plans for stealing yummy grub from Peter's frankfurter cart involve things like buying a helicopter at the helicopter store that they assume will be at the local mall on sale for a dollar or two, except they keep getting distracted by things like inchworms and accidentally abducted in laundry baskets. Their adventures and interactions entertained me on every page.Stick Dog is a master of tact. For example, upon hearing Mutt's outrageously inane plan:Stick Dog closed his eyes. "Umm.""Yeah?" said Mutt. He was very excited. It's great, isn't it?""It is great," said Stick Dog, trying to let him down easy. "It's great in a sort of non-great way. Sort of. Umm, yeah." . . . This seemed to suddenly make sense to Mutt. "Not going to work?""Oh, I'm not saying that at all," said Stick Dog. "But because there is just a sliver of doubt about its feasibility, maybe we should listen to some other ideas too."And, later, with Poo-Poo and his plan.Poo-Poo looked a little sad--and a little disappointed--when Stick Dog pointed out this flaw in his plan. Stick Dog saw this and added, "You know, Poo-Poo, that's a really sophisticated plan you came up with. [That idea] has probably never been considered before. You are, no doubt, the only creature on the planet who could come up with it."Young readers will, undoubtedly, not be nearly as gentle laughing at the silliness of the other dogs--though they might pick up a few hints from Stick Dog's example--and will get a kick out of out-thinking them and their schemes.Though it is entirely possible they might get a few ideas that parents and other adults aren't so thrilled about:The game the five dogs were playing is called BARK! And the game goes like this: Whenever something moves anywhere--a leaf in the wind, a bird flying by, a triceratops charging out of the forest--the first one to bark gets five points. The second one to bark gets four points, the third barker gets three points, and so on. Whoever has the most points at the end of the game is the winner.Whenever you see two or more dogs barking somewhere, odds are pretty good that they are playing this game.You should try it too. Get a friend or a sister or a brother or a grandpa and play. Hold real still and then as soon as something moves, bark real loud a couple of times. Keep score and everything. A couple of things to remember when you play this game: First, don't play it at school unless you want detention. Second, when you play this game, people are going to think you're crazy.Whichever approach readers take, rational or interactive, they'll have a good time.

Stick dog and his friends want a frankfurter also known as hot dog. The author just said there would be to much dog everywhere. Just to be clear they are dogs. That's probably why he is named stick dog... also because he is not drawn very good.

When I read the 2nd book, which is this one, I was thrilled to finally read the 2nd one. The first one is good idea to read before this one since there are many references to the first book. I love to have a good laugh at Stick-Dog and his friends going on an adventure to get a nice juicy Hot Dog.

The story “Stick Dog Wants A Hot Dog” by Tom Watson is about when Stick Dog and his friends gets a whiff of hot dogs is a cart, he knows they has to get some. Along with his stray dog friends a Dalmatian named Stripes, a Dachshund named Karen, a mutt named Mutt, and a Poodle named Poo-Poo. Stick Dog and his friends go on a quest to get some great smelling hot dogs. It’s not an easy heist to pull off. On the way, they get interrupted by a raccoon trying to get the hot dogs to, Karen gets kidnaped, and the plans to get the hot dogs are bad. Stick Dog’s friends are not very good at coming up with strategies to get the food. Using teamwork, patience, and skill, will Stick Dog guide them to get the hot dogs? The genre of the book “Stick Dog” by Tom Watson can be classified as fiction, adventure, fantasy. There is a multitude of books in the Stick Dog series. This book isn't that long, exactly 220 pages. It's a quick and easy read, geared toured a younger audience. I like this book, because of the way the doggos think. It can hold the attention for me, which is small than the IQ that I don't have. Meaning that it would hold the attention of a younger audience. There is a lot of action and comedy for everyone of all ages. The words are easy to read and understand so that readers won't get lost throughout the great adventure the dog go through. I liked that it had a decent plot, but I found it a little two close to the last book. The thing I didn't like about the story was that this book has pretty much the same plot as the last book making not know what be surprised about. They followed the rules of story making and the adventure was packed with a couple of great characters that will probably won't be used again. For example, in the last book there were characters that had given them food, and the one thing that they mentioned about them is the food they gave them. There was really a lot of style to this writing and this book is told in third person as seen from all the characters perspectives. My favorite character in this the book was still Stick Dog. Stick Dog is the main character in the book series. Stick Dog is a dog with a brain when he is in a group of people who usually don't listen and have not so great ideas. When he goes on an adventure with his friends, he goes out of his way to help of his friend learn to stop being stupid. He learns that humans are wimps, and be exploited for food to eat. “Do you think all that stuff was a human mating dance?” is my favorite line from the book, because it is the best joke a book could ever make about a human exercising. It made me laugh for days. I can relate to Poo-Poo, because he and I have an IQ of .37. I believe that this dog book is worth reading if you liked the first one and it's plot.

Stick dog is a great book to read if you love comedy. Stick dog is a mixture of adventure and comedy. Stick dog is a hilarious book about Stick dog and his team of four friends on a mission to gather a feast of delicious hot dogs. Through the story they attempt to come up with a plan to steal the scrumptious treats and come across many obstacles while doing so. My favorite character in the story was definitely Karen the dachshund because she is very outgoing and loves coming up with new ideas. Something that surprised me was that the ending was very dull. I was a little disappointed with the ending and I would have liked it if it were a little more interesting. With that being said, Stick dog is a great book that will make you laugh out loud! I highly suggest this book to Everyone. Happy Reading!

Stick Dog Wants a Hot Dog by Tom Watson was very funny and adventurous. I have read the first stick dog and both books have familiar problems. Tom Watson did a great job of not only describing the scene very well, but giving pictures so the readers can know what the scene looked like. I love these kind of holiday books because they are very fun to read and this book was funny. This book was about Stick Dog and his friends once again trying to get food from humans. Last time the6y wanted hamburgers this time they wanted hot dogs. In the book they go threw many challenges and obstacles to get hot dogs such as raccoons, coming up with a plan, and obviously humans. At the end of the story they come up with a solution and all is well. I recommend this book to any one who like comedy and adventure.

Stick Dog vuole un hot dog è un libro meraviglioso, l’avventura di un cane simpaticissimo e dei suoi birbanti amici. Suddiviso in 9 capitoli brevi, la storia è narrata con il solito humor dell’autore, già visto nel primo libro (la recensione qui Il diario di Stick Dog. Una storia bellissima disegnata così così) un cane che vive liberamente, insieme ai suoi amici tontoloni che fanno morire dal ridere nel tentativo di arraffare hot dog e soddisfare finalmente la loro inesauribile fame. https://ilmondodichri.com/il-diario-d...

Oh Stick Dog... the newest character in my 5 year old daughter's play repertoire. TOM WATSON has written an absolutely fabulous series that has managed to get my daughter to pivot from Paw Patrol, Lady and the Tramp, and 101 Dalmatians. (Finally!)STICK DOG WANTS A HOTDOG follows Stick Dog as he and his friends, Poo-Poo, Stripes, Mutt, and Karen are on the search, yet again, for food. This time in the form of a frankfurter.This book is witty, creative, and down-right hilarious. It had both me and my daughter cracking up. On to Book 3!

Another crazy adventure with Stick dog and his pals. This time they discover frankfurters (Hot Dogs) and want to get some of them for themselves. But it won't be easy. There's a Karen to rescue, a plan to make, and a bunch of racoons who want frankfurters too. Can Stick dog snatch those hamburgers?A+

I loved this amazing story of how stick dog and his friends got hungrier than ever and tried to get some frankfurters (hotdogs)! They tried everything they could and in the end, they got more than enough frankfurters than they could eat. Also, stick dog and his four friends beat the raccoon team to the frankfurters.
