If You Give a Dog a Doobie (4)

by Sam Miserendino, Mike Odum (Illustrations)

The fourth installment in Sam Miserendino and Mike Odum’s Addicted Animal Series

Following the success of other adult-themed parodies of children’s books, author Sam Miserendino presents a delightful tale that will entertain readers with its charming combination of innocence and lack thereof. A humorous play off of the famous If You Give a Moose a Muffin , If You Give a Dog a Doobie tells the tale of a pot-loving pooch whose toking neighbor gives him the best treat ever. The book follows the dog as he experiences the highs and lows of being high and it reveals whether or not it's possible to teach a stoned dog new tricks . . .or to even get him to remember old ones!

Featuring gorgeous full-color illustrations by illustrator Mike Odum that accompany the text, this heartwarming cautionary tale informs readers of the dangers of mixing pot and cute pups.

The Story:

I was expecting laugh out loud hilarious and got a little chuckle instead. I haven’t decided if I’ll read more of the books. They do make a good palate cleanser.

This adult take on the childhood classic "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie..." is goofy fun, but it's one joke stretched out past its welcome. It's a picture book, but I feel it could have been reduced by a few pages to make the gag tighter and funnier. The illustrations are really nicely done.

Great nod to the source material with having a donut at the beginning. Also one of my friends did stop at a stop sign and wait for it to turn green.
