From jacket flap: “Wiener Dog has a cushy life– a warm lap, plenty of chew toys and treats, and all the TV he can watch. But there’s something missing. And Wiener Dog must strike out on his own to find it. Even if it means shedding his cozy sweater. Even if it means leaving Granny behind. But is being a lone Wiener Wolf all it’s cracked up to be?
My Review:
This is by far one of my all time favorite children’s books about a wiener dog. The illustrations draw you right into the pages and take you on an adventure you never want to end as you follow along with Wiener Dog. I chuckled (seeing Wiener Dog upside down in his bed- little feet in the air), related well (seeing Wiener Dog snuggled in Granny’s lap)and laughed out loud (seeing Wiener Dog trying to hitch a ride with his front paw held up with one little toe pointing straight up).
But most of all I felt an overwhelming feeling of joy as I read how Wiener Dog realized how wonderful his life truly was with Granny and how grand it is to accept and be oneself. Wiener Dog (or any dachshund for that matter) are the perfect characters to teach young ones the value of being themselves no matter what.
This book will no doubt be a classic years from now because I believe it already is. Thank you Jeff not only for the absolutely glorious illustrations, but for writing a story that speaks to the heart of adults and children…. and that we all just want to be accepted and loved. BRAVO!
