This little hot dog has had enough - enough of scorching sidewalks, honking cars, and the chaos of summer in the city. When he plops down in the middle of a crosswalk, his devoted human knows just what to do: a taxi, a train, and a ferry ride later, they arrive at the beach, where a dog can finally run free.
With lyrical prose and sun-soaked illustrations, Doug Salati’s Hot Dog is a gentle, joyful reminder of how nature restores us and how the little things can bring the greatest peace.
Pepper’s Pick: "City life is ruff, trust me. Hot pavement? Sirens? Strangers trying to pet you without asking? No thanks. This guy gets it. Hot Dog is my kind of summer read: minimal dialogue, great scenery, and a strong lead with excellent instincts (lie down dramatically until someone takes you to the beach). 10/10 would recommend." - Pepper, resident shop dog
