Read to my first graders.
They were pretty eager to talk about the message of the book, and they definitely enjoyed the story.

A truly insightful look into the prejudices of dog society. showing the harrowing experience of how hard it is for short dogs to be accepted by their peers. Godspeed to Dav Pilkey for having the guts to show us what we didn't want to see.

The first book I ever read by myself! I read this on the couch in my kindergarten classroom and every Halloween after that for a long time.

slightly biased as we are a dachshund family, but definitely a cute Halloween read.

What is Oscar the Weiner Dog suppose to do to find acceptance? Despite his horror over having to where a hotdog bun as his Halloween costume, Oscar manages to save the day and be the winner in the end.

This is Dav Pilkey at his best. Puns aplenty about a wiener dog who saves the day.

Poor Oscar gets picked on and called "wiener dog" by all the other dogs. He wants to be something scary for Halloween, but can't disappoint his mother when she makes him a hot dog costume. Of course all the other dogs make even more fun of him, but in the end he shows them what he's made of. This reminded me a lot of [b:How Spider Saved Halloween|2099423|How Spider Saved Halloween|Robert Kraus|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1387733389s/2099423.jpg|3200532]. I wish I had had this all those years I was doing a Halloween storytime in my library. So much fun!

This book is so cute and funny. I plan to share it at a Halloween storytime for Pre-K. Elementary school kids (who often tag along with siblings to storytime) will love it, but the text is short and simple enough to appeal to little kids as well.
