Its morning.
The dogs are hungry.
Its time to take the donuts.
Stick Dog and his team of strays are off on another outrageous canine caper. To snatch some breakfast treats for his hungry pals, Stick Dog will need to stop a moving truck, outfox a man on a telephone pole, and de-spaz-ify a very caffeinated Karen. But thats not all. Hell also need to manage the greatest confrontation in history when his good friend Poo-Poo comes face-to-face with the ultimate enemya squirrel.
With Stick Dogs smarts, daring, loyaltyand patiencehe just might lead his buddies to the best breakfast ever.
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 outvoted 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, storytelling 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.
