There were a number of particularly amusing moments in the text - Oscar's mother calling him her "little Vienna sausage," Oscar showing up in his costume looking "quite frank" - but also some heartwarming ones, as when our canine hero accepts his costume despite disliking it, because he doesn't want to hurt his mother's feelings. I enjoyed The Hallo-Wiener, which is told with Dav Pilkey's trademark sense of humor. Is Halloween ruined? As it turns out, being a giant hot dog comes in handy when a 'monster' unexpectedly attacks the trick-or-treating dogs. Unfortunately his mother has other ideas, and he ends up with cumbersome hot-dog outfit that prevents him from keeping up with his peers on the big night. Ridiculed by the other dogs at obedience school, Oscar is looking forward to creating a really frightening costume for trick-or-treating. Oscar the dachshund is unhappy with his short but long body in this humorous Halloween tale from Dav Pilkey, creator of such childhood classics as Captain Underpants. 13785 EN FictionAccelerated Reader Quiz Information IL: LG - BL: 3.2 - AR Pts: 0.5Accelerated Reader Quiz Type Inform.
