Review 3 - Hot Dog
Salati, Doug. Hot Dog. Random House Children's Book, 2022. 3 to 7 years.
Full of vivid illustrations highlighting this dog's adventure out of the city to relax, the distinct art style is sure to please both young readers and their adults. While there is some text, the story relies mostly on the illustrations to tell the story. Readers will be enchanted by the vast amount of details in the illustrations and were awarded the 2022 Caldecott award. The message teaches children that city life can be stressful, therefore it is ok to need to take time for yourself to recharge. It also reminds children to be mindful of how the city can affect animals and shows illustrations of the city as well as the beach escape. The illustrations are also inclusive and age-appropriate. This would make an excellent addition to any children's collection because of its highly engaging art style and universal appeal.
