Gr 2-4-One day, a talking hot dog appears in Bob's lunch box. He has been sent from the planet Dogzalot to help ward off trouble-and trouble (or chaos) does arise in this off-the-wall, zany early chapter book. The fifth grader's usually sweet teacher, Miss Lamphead, gets tummy trouble, turns into a giant evil-alien pizza named "Cheese Face," and tries to take over the classroom by turning her students into pizza soldiers. Thanks to Hot Dog's array of condiment weapons: ketchup, mustard, relish, as well as a take-out meal from a Chinese restaurant, Miss Lamphead returns to her normal self and literally "hurls" (yes, vomits) out the students whom she has eaten. A superhero in the form of a hot dog, a teacher who transforms into a pizza, and bullies by the name of Barfalot, Slugburt, and Pigburt all make for an outlandish and ridiculous cast of characters and events. Wacky black-and-white cartoons appear on every page. Boys looking for something "gross" and fans of Dav Pilkey's "Captain Underpants" books (Scholastic) are the most likely audience for this title, but it is a bit over-the-top even for them.-Jennifer Cogan, Bucks County Free Library, Doylestown, PA Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
