SUMMARY: Hotter than a hot dog is a little girl telling a story about her and her grandmother going to the beach. I love this book because of all the imagery that is in it. The girl and her grandmother ride the train from the city to the beach, and then spend the day at the beach. I feel that this is a great book to read to a class when they are learning about imagery, because there are so many different great examples in this story. I also love how the little girl and her grandmother discuss things that are hot and towards the end, things that are cold. It makes for a great example of comparing.
