It was recommended to me by a 6 year old when they turned in their summer reading card, so I had to read it. Pretty sure I read it as a child too because it seemed familiar. ( )

Stan retires from a bakery. After he retires he becomes a hotdog man. One day a bad snowstorm came and him and a bus could not move. He invites everybody from the bus to come warm up in his hotdog truck. He borrows a girls red scarf to let people know there in there in there. A little later somebody found them and helped them. ( )

I had mixed feelings about this book. I liked the illustrations because they were bright and colorful. This fit the cheerful and happy mood of the story. However, I did not believe that the characters were well developed. All I learned about Stan from the book was that he sold hot dogs. I did not learn much about his personality or his life. Therefore, I felt somewhat disconnected from the book. The main idea of this story is that it is never too late to try something new that makes you happy. ( )

I like this book because this book's main character is so nice, that makes me want to be a person like him. The Stan is a great role model, he cares about people and he takes responsibility when he has to. ( )
