About the Author

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.
Industry Reviews
Praise for Stick Dog:

"Ample stick drawings make this an enticing package for those just starting chapter books."
Kirkus Reviews

"Encouraging emergent readers with progress notes at each chapter's end, this series kickoff introduces a diverse trio of third-grade friends with complementary traits.... Kissi adds a two-color illustration of the trio in action, a fanciful diagram, or a bit of arithmetic to almost every page of the well-paced, well-spaced narrative."
Booklist

"With likable characters, an amusing situation, and lots of reinforcement for readers, this effort is sure to be a hit."
Kirkus Reviews
