Stick Dog: a really GOOD story with kind of BAD drawings by Tom Watson - - ADVISABLE

Watson, Tom Stick Dog: a really GOOD story with kind of BAD drawings, 189 pgs. Harper Collins Publishers, 2013. $12.99. Language: G; Violence: G; Mature Content: G. 

Stick Dog, and his friends Karen, Stripes, Mutt and Poo-Poo can smell the hamburgers cooking over at the park and devise a plan to get some for themselves.  

The author presents himself as a young student, misunderstood by both his Language Arts and Drawing teachers, who writes and illustrates his own “notebook” story.  Although the drawings are very simple (Stick Dog is like a stick figure, only dog) the situations and the comic book feel make this an enjoyable, yet easy to read offering.
