This book was about an elderly gentlemen who retired from a bakery and then opened a hot dog truck. He would drive his truck to the same corner and sell hot dogs during lunch and then go fishing with his wife. One day he gets stuck in the snow as well as a school bus.

This was a very touching book

in how generous the man was. I liked how he and his wife would go fishing together. This book made me smile.

You could use this book in the classroom to teach children about generosity. You could also use it to talk about helping others. You could bring in hot dogs one day for lunch and bring all of the fixings and have the kids make their own hot dogs.

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.
