Description
Perfect for fans of Big Nate, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Timmy Failure, and the previous Stick Dog books, the popular Stick Dog series continues in Tom Watson's hilarious Stick Dog Tries to Take the Donuts!
It's morning. The dogs are hungry. It's 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 calm down a very caffeinated Karen. But that's not all. He'll also need to manage the greatest confrontation in history when his good friend Poo-Poo comes face-to-face with the ultimate enemy: a squirrel!
With Stick Dog's smarts, daring, loyalty—and patience—he just might lead his buddies to the best breakfast ever.
Other favorites in the series include Stick Dog Wants a Hot Dog, Stick Dog Chases a Pizza, and many more!
This funny, illustrated story serves up a full box of fun:
- Quirky Characters: Meet the whole gang! From Stick Dog, the brainy leader, to Poo-Poo, the squirrel-obsessed poodle, and Karen, the dachshund who gets a little too into coffee.
- Laugh-Out-Loud Humor: A wild plan involving a telephone pole, a very confused truck driver, and the dogs’ ridiculous ideas about how the human world works.
- Teamwork and Friendship: Stick Dog’s clever plans only work when his four stray friends manage to cooperate… which is harder than it sounds.
- Perfect for Reluctant Readers: With short, fast-paced chapters and funny drawings on every page, this series is a go-to for kids who think they don’t like to read.

About the author(s)
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.
