Dav Pilkey has written a most delightful book that addresses lots of kids issues: being different from your friends, trying to please parents, but best off all, wanting to be a hero!

My granddaughter has loved this book since she was only three years old although older kids will love it, too, just as she still does. She delights in all the troubles Oscar, the Wiener Dog, has to deal with on that very special day: Halloween. Oscar plans a scary costume but when his mom has worked hard to create a costume of a hotdog bun complete with mustard, he wears it to please her. In the end, the costume helps Oscar to save the day when all his doggy friends are scared by an evil, hissing monster and they jump into a pond to escape from it.

Ashleigh can listen to this book over and over and over --- and because of Pilkey's delightful language and delicious puns, this book never gets old for grandma either.

This story was such a hit with my granddaughter that I had to buy her a copy of her own (not the library version). She is very bright but cannot sit through a lot of stories. This one is an exception--she knows all the words. Interesting and unusual topic presented in prose-like style. Well done!

Took this to my 2nd grader's class for Mystery Reader day and they seemed to enjoy it. My son in particular loves it because of who the author is.

Dav Pilkey has written great book emphasizing the importance of responsibility, dedication, and companionship of a child and his dog. The book describes the everyday routine of a young man and his dog as they ride around town delivering news papers to the subscribers. Dav Pilkey did an amazing job illustrating the book using vibrant colors; depicting the time of day and the atmosphere that surrounds the boy and his dog. The book makes you feel as if you were riding along with him.

The Paperboy is also a book that can be useful in a classroom. The book teaches children how valuable it is to become a model citizen inside and outside the class. Delivering the morning paper is a very important job to this young man knowing that there are so many people who rely on the information that lies within the pages of the paper.
