Unfortunately, the story was not as engaging as the illustrations. I found it all a little flat and nonsensical. The cover art brands Stick Dog as: ''A really GOOD story with kind of BAD drawings''. I would disagree. I liked the artwork but found the story lacklustre and predictable. The intrusive narration becomes a little irritating after a while, although that may be purely my perspective as an adult reading a kid’s book.
I genuinely liked the characters though and would love to see Stick Dog again in the future, but with a stronger storyline. Given the right kind of stories, Stick Dog could prove to be a very popular character indeed. We also have a review of the [[Stick Dog Wants a Hot Dog by Tom Watson|sequel]].
[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days by Jeff Kinney]] is written in a similar style to Stick Dog.
