A refreshing change from Disneyesque "children's" stories that seem necessarily to involve death, destruction, orphaned babies, violence, or assorted misfortune. This book offers page-after-page of a good-hearted story about a good-hearted man. Exactly the book you will want to read with your 3-year-old fresh out of the tub.

This is my 7 year old son's favorite book at the moment, which surprises me, because it's about a man who retires and fulfills his dream to become a hot dog man!

Not something every 7 year old can relate to, but it's a well told, interesting little story.

We see Stan's hopes that his new business will succeed. We watch as he shows compassion for a poor family, and when a snowstorm threatens school children, we see just how wonderful Stan really is.

He's a very likeable character, and spending the day with Stan is like spending the day with Grandpa.

Lovely story and easy for beginning readers.

Do you like stories about Stan the Hot Dog Man? When Stan leaves his new job at the bakery, he starts off in a brand new job as a Hot Dog Man. He like the fresh air, he's friends at the bakery . There was a storm and Stan helped them and he put them in his truck .
My favorite part is when Stan got his new job because it is amazing to see a gei is a hot dog man. I recommend this book to anyone because it is their level.

This is the best children's book I have ever read. The book is easy to read and filled with love and rescues. Stan, the main character, has quit his job at the bakery to become a hotdog man. Stan meets a family who can't afford 4 hotdogs and shows love and commpassion. He also gets stuck in a snowstorm and gets rescued by the patrol. I think this is a great book for young readers. I reccommend this book to all ages.

This is a sweet story about an older man and his wife. After retiring, he decides to keep on working, as a hotdog man. This may sound a bit odd for a child's story, but it is actually is great! It becomes quite adventurous in one part, when a snow storm comes, and Stan is able to help out some people who are stranded and snowed in. This book has small glimpses into traits that I would love my children to learn...Generosity, thoughtfullness, ingenuity, courage, friendliness, and a strong work ethic, among others. Highly recommended.

My 7-yr old and I read this together. He read most of it aloud and loved it. He asked me to "ask him questions" about the book as practice for his schools' "Reading Counts" test.
Being from the south, he was a little unsure about the snowplow, but he understood the other concepts clearly. This is a cute story, enjoyed very much by a 7 yr-old and his Dad.

This is a level 2 easy reader about a man who retires and becomes a hot dog man. A very cute story about a man and his wife. My 7 year old enjoyed reading this book.
