Hi, my name is Tina. This is my dog Hazel.
Hazel is very fat. Why is my dog so fat? I really wanted to know.

The last book I read was Hazel’s Secret Life. It is a book about a little girl named Tina and her attempt to solve the mystery of why her dog, Hazel, is so fat. Beginning and intermediate readers will enjoy the simple writing style, and readers of all ages will enjoy looking through the surprisingly detailed pictures trying to pick out their favorite surprise in the background. My personal favorite was the movie poster for Pigs in a Blanket. This author is also donating a dollar of every book sold to his local school system. http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/blogs/latest/entry/cow-moo-reviews-01-free-kids-books
