'Mucumber McGee and the Half-Eaten Hot Dog' by Patrick Loehr is written with an easy-to-read verse that will have the young reader looking twice at a hot dog. The drama all started when Mucumber slept straight through dinner and awoke with a terrible hunger.
'Mucumber and his pet lizard searched high and low;
Looking from his head to his toe.
To find something to eat;
Which was no small feat.
His world turned up-side down;
When his sister said with a frown.
'An uncooked hot dog made of meat;
Tragically, is a most deadly thing to eat.'
Enjoy this story as it gives the reader very sound advice on what to do when 'your stomach is empty and your hunger is great', and all that is left is a dog on your plate!
