Hot Dog by Doug Salati - ESSENTIAL

Hot Dog by Doug Salati
. PICTURE BOOK. Alfred A Knopf (Random), 2022. $19. 9780593308431 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

During one hot summer in a busy and crowded city, a dog decides he has had enough. He refuses to take another step. The dog and his owner escape to the beach's salty breezes and cool waters where the dog has room to run.

I liked that the illustrations were so descriptive that few words were needed to carry the story. I could easily relate to the message that sometimes it's nice to take a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The owner of the dog is white.
