The Hallo-wiener Review
User Submitted The Hallo-wiener ReviewsSeptember 24, 2008 You gotta love Pilkey! Trust me, if you are looking for a book that kids (and adults) will love, one that has humor, wit and great characters, you can NEVER, EVER go wrong with Dav Pilkey. I laugh out loud every time! October 16, 2007 Oh I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener........ I've always been a sucker for the underdogs in life. This book is about a sweet one who in the end teaches us about the real meaning of friendship. I've learned never to judge a book by its cover. This may look like a typical silly book with no thought behind it, but it's so much more! You see, it's about Oscar the dachshund (or as my kids call it - a wiener dog) who just wants to fit in with the other dogs in the neighborhood. They're always teasing him, and it doesn't help when his mother calls him "My little Vienna sausage" or makes him a hot dog bun costume for Halloween. However, Oscar doesn't give up and ends up saving the day and his new pals in the end. Now, wait just a minute! It's not as sappy as it sounds. There are so many funny details in the illustrations and text to enjoy - like the sentence: "Then Oscar showed up, looking quite frank." (Cracked me up!) Be sure to take your time when you come to the classroom scene at Obedience School - hilarious! The teacher reading a book entitled "Dogs who Hate Fleas and the Fleas Who Love Them". I especially liked the dog standing at the chalkboard, writing sentences..."I will not sniff my neighbor". What a cute tale! September 26, 2007 Hallo-Wiener This book is a wonderful holiday book! Not only is there great art work, but the story is hilarious! If you go to Dav Pilkey's site, you can download coloring sheets, too. Anyone age 1 to 99 will "howl" with laughter while reading this book, and it has a great lesson about acceptance at the end! September 18, 2007 great Great book, very funny. I don't mind reading it to my three-year old over and over and over. Cute illustrations. November 2, 2006 A great read-aloud Halloween book This is a darling book. The little dog dreams of being something terrifying for Halloween, but to his horror, his well-meaning mother makes him a hot dog costume, complete with mustard. The other dogs make fun of poor Oscar (the book is full of wiener jokes) until Oscar and his ridiculous costume save the day. I put this book on my top ten list for the kindergarten crowd. September 18, 2006 Silly book kids will like to read around Halloween. Poor Oscar Myer wiener dog (a hotdog dog) gets teased all the time. The bully dogs are always laughing at him because of his size and shape. For Halloween, Oscar's mom buys him a costume that is a hotdog roll with mustard on it. Oscar is so embarrassed, but wears it to avoid hurting his mothers feelings. Oscar gets laughed at once again but the story twists to allow Oscar a chance to be a hero. Oscar wins the respect of the bullies and they all share their Halloween dog treats with him. Silly story with decent, basic illustrations. September 9, 2006 The Hallo-wiener An adorable book that my preschool children want to hear again and again. This is a standard book in my preschool during the month of October. It is so funny with a lesson to boot! July 25, 2006 "Frank-ly" my dear, this book never gets old! Dav Pilkey has written a most delightful book that addresses lots of kids issues: being different from your friends, trying to please parents, but best off all, wanting to be a hero! My granddaughter has loved this book since she was only three years old although older kids will love it, too, just as she still does. She delights in all the troubles Oscar, the Wiener Dog, has to deal with on that very special day: Halloween. Oscar plans a scary costume but when his mom has worked hard to create a costume of a hotdog bun complete with mustard, he wears it to please her. In the end, the costume helps Oscar to save the day when all his doggy friends are scared by an evil, hissing monster and they jump into a pond to escape from it. Ashleigh can listen to this book over and over and over --- and because of Pilkey's delightful language and delicious puns, this book never gets old for grandma either. May 27, 2006 Cutest wiener dog book ever! With a lesson even... I have 4 dachshunds and I originally bought the book because I collect dachshund items but I fell in love with the story. It is so well-written and illustrated. It makes a great gift for kids and dog lovers. November 17, 2005 Matt's Review Halloweiner is story written by Dave Pickily. If you are a Halloweiner for Halloween then here is a story for you. Halloweiner is about a dog who is being picked on by the other dogs. His costume doesn't help, it is three dogs high and three dogs wide. While he was trick or treating he coud not get any treats because all of the other dogs ran ahead and got all of the treats.Then, that night there was a ghost that came to all of the other dogs! Dun dun dun Halloweiner to the rescue! The Halloweiner ripped the cape off of the ghost and out came to cats. Halloweiner jumped into the water after he scared the cats away. From then on the other dogs called him Super Weiner! If you like Halloween you wll like this story, I know I did! Read Halloweiner! For more The Hallo-wiener reviews click here.
