Prompt: read a book that takes place in the fall
I read this when I was kid, so I wanted to revisit it. It was cute and I had fun with it, just not as much as when I was a kid. Still good though.

It’s spooky season, and what a great book with beautiful illustrations! My son really enjoyed this one, he laughed and almost cried.
5/5 Stars - Very well written and illustrated, such a fun read with my little guy.

I don't know what your classic Halloween book was, but in my house, it was The Hallo-wiener. This is a fantastic story about a dachshund whose mom makes him a Halloween costume... and much to his mortification, it turns out to be a costume that turns him into a giant hot dog. Because he loves his mom, he wears the costume, even though all the other dogs make fun of him... that is, until the Hallo-wiener and his hot dog costume are given the chance to save the day!
I gave this to my godson, but really, my mom and I were much more delighted with it than he was. He liked it, sure, but nothing could really match our enthusiasm.

A young dachsund is self-conscious about his long body shape until he saves his friends from a monster on Halloween. Pilkey always has a great sense of humor.

I really enjoyed reading this book with my 5-year-old. It's got a great message--even though the main character is often picked on by his peers, he still turns around and is a friend to them.
I love that his first name is Oscar. Makes me wonder if his second name is M-A-Y-E-R. Too funny!!!

This book has a little problem, namely: Hallo, Wiener!: An Erotic Gender Swap
which is the next thing that comes up when you search this one up on Goodreads.
"Her wish-come-true is no trick…and all treat!
Katrina has an awkward girl-crush on her BFF. A doomed girl-crush, since Sophie is as straight as hell.
But through some Halloween magic, Katrina wakes the next day as a man. And not just any man—the sexiest one she’s ever seen. Who happens to be just Sophie’s type .
Though she’s freaked out, Katrina realizes that being in a man’s body…is her only chance to get into Sophie’s body.
One click to see how one SWITCH can really turn these girls on!"
I mean, not the absolute worst thing to pop up when you've got a wholesome story about a weiner dog whose resemblance to a hot dog turns out to be his greatest strength. But not exactly what I'm guessing most people are searching.
I guess this could be an attempt at guerrilla marketing. You name your erotic fiction "Green Eggs And Ham-Sized Penises" or something, and then maybe some people click out of curiosity?
I've seen worse marketing. I've done worse marketing.
