Introducing everyone's new best friend - Stick Dog! He'll make you laugh... He'll make you cry... But above all, he'll make you hungry. Follow Stick Dog as he goes on an epic quest for the perfect burger. With hilarious stick-figure drawings, this book has a unique perspective, as the author speaks directly to the reader throughout the story in an engaging and lively way. About the Author 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 out-voted 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, story-telling 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.
