One little hot dog does get to play ball in this sunny, funny story. From his vantage point on the hot dog stand, he watches enviously as all the real-life dogs have fun on the beach, digging, fetching, chasing their tails, and he longs to do those things too. Luckily, he is overheard by the Mustard Fairy and with a squirt or two of mustard, she makes his wish come true! Soon Hot Dog is playing on the sand, doing everything he’s always wanted to do, though he needs another helping hand to avoid ending up a dog’s dinner! Magically transformed, Hot Dog is truly adorable and the story is a wonderful helping of silliness, drama and happy every after. A sunshine read if ever there was one.
