Absolutely hilarious!
Oscar is a young dog with a problem. Being a "wiener-dog," he looks different from all of the other dogs in obedience school, and consequently the others like to make fun of him. His mother doesn't help matters when she calls him her "little Vienna sausage." And worse, when Halloween rolls around she expresses complete lack of understanding when she buys him his ultimate nightmare of a costume. However, this short-legged dog has a big heart, and when the chips are down the other dogs get to learn just what Oscar is made of!

This book is absolutely hilarious! The story is funny and educational. The text was not challenging for my eight-year-old son, but he is on the extreme range of the recommended level. However, he did love the story, and read it through three times in the first sitting! So, we both highly recommend this book.

Please be sure to watch the cats in this dog book, they come close to stealing the show!

Howlarious for kids and wiener dog lovers of all ages!!
Loved the book even as a 31 year old kid. Good moral story to the tail/tale and a wonderful pictography of the "Vienna sausage" who could. If you have kids or love Dachshunds, buy it!!

Bone Tickling!
Dav Pilkey's play on words is really fun. A great story for both children and adults alike. An important lesson about true friendship and heroism told in a very comical way. Every Dachshund owner should have a copy!!!
