Stick Dog Chases a Pizza - Couverture souple

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.

As Stick Dog and his friends embark on a dangerous quest for pizza, they find themselves getting into even more than they ever could have imagined.

Is it a flying saucer?
Is it a Frisbee?
Or is it the best thing they ve ever tasted?

Stick Dog and his crazy canine crew have discovered a newfangled flavor -- and it's even more delicious than hamburgers and hot dogs. It's pizza! And they won't be satisfied until they get some slices of their own. But it won't be easy. There's a kitten to rescue, a plan to make, and the messiest -- and most dangerous -- game of catch they've ever played. Pizza is on the menu, but only if their mission succeeds.
