Great read aloud book for kids! November 6, 2004
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I bought this book to read aloud to my daughter's first grade class the week before Halloween when I was the "Parent Reader" of the week. It was great! The class loved it! They laughed aloud throughout the whole book! The story is adorable and the illustrations are cute (pay close attention to them). And everyone, including adults, will like the ending. Oscar (the Hallo-weiner dog) demonstrates what friendship should be about.
Fabulous!!! August 3, 2004

I've got to get me more books by this dude Dav Pilkey. This story was hilarious! Poor Oscar is a wiener dog who gets dissed by all the other dog-bullies at school. He dreams about Halloween, but his mom, who obviously had a very different sense of humor, dresses him up as a hotdog, bun included. Poor Oscar is not happy! But before the night is over he will show everyone what a hero he truly is.
This story is just funny from beginning to end. I love the little details: did anyone notice the mailbox in front of Oscar's house? They are the Myers! The cocker spaniel is supposed to be Merlin, but his costume makes him look like a Supreme Court Justice! How about the book that the teacher is reading? "Dogs who Hate Fleas (and the Fleas who Love Them)"!!! The typeset on the inside cover spells Hallo-Wiener with hotdogs!!! This book is precious from cover to cover.

The Hallo-Wiener is a story about a wiener shaped dog that is always teased because of his looks. When Halloween rolls around Oscar can't wait till he gets to go out. When he sees the costume his mom made for him he almost killed himself. Embarrassed and all, Oscar goes out and does something his buddies will never forget. This book teaches kids not to judge people of their appearance and a true friend is always there. This book is good for the age of 1-100. Personally I thought it was a fantastic book.

A must have for any collector! Having 2 dachshunds, I had to read this book when one of my students checked it out of the library. I cracked up after I read it. This is a book you or your child will read again and again. It will bring a smile to even the grumpiest person's face!

I don't have kids and I'm well beyond the target age group for this book. I do think sausage dogs are adorable, though, and thus received this as a Halloween present.The illustrations are cute, the story is fun, and the puns are hilarious. The sausage dog is named, of course, Oscar; scrutinizing the family mailbox reveals their last name to be Meyer. When Oscar shows up in his Halloween costume (a hot dog on a bun), the book remarks that he looked "quite frank." A few minutes of laughing and a smile on your face for six bucks? Can't beat that!
