About Tom Watson

Tom Watson lives in Chicago with his wife, daughter, and son. He also has a dog, as you could probably guess. The dog is a Labrador-Newfoundland mix. Tom says he looks like a Labrador with a bad perm. He wanted to name the dog ""Put Your Shirt On"" (please don't ask why), but he was outvoted by his family. The dog's name is Shadow. Early in his career Tom worked in politics, including a stint as the chief speechwriter for the governor of Ohio. This experience helped him develop the unique, storytelling narrative style of the Stick Dog books. More important, Tom's time in politics made him realize a very important thing: Kids are way smarter than adults. And it's a lot more fun and rewarding to write stories for them than to write speeches for grown-ups.

Goodreads review by Raina on March 10, 2016

DO NOT BE AFRAID OF THIS BOOK! I avoid books about dogs, as a rule. For some reason, stories about animals in pain affect me very strongly. And it seems like every story featuring a dog includes bad things happening to the dog. I'm sure there are good and/or deep reasons for this, but suffice it to s......more

Goodreads review by Mama ant dviračio on October 25, 2020

Knyga be išliekamosios vertės :) BET! Bet, tai puiki knyga vaikams, kurie dar tik mokosi skaityti patys. Didelės raidės, paprasti žodžiai (nors pasitaiko ir sudėtingesnių), eilutės suliniuotos, taigi lengviau išsilaikyti vienoje eilutėje nešokinėjant. Smagios iliustracijos. Pasakojimas nuobodokas, no......more
