Why kids love the Galactic Hot Dogs Books

We give the Galactic Hot Dogs, “The Weiner Strikes Back” rave reviews from both Mom and Kyle – adventure, fun, comic style graphics, and lots of digital elements for kids to extend their engagement from page to screen.

It’s great for kids to take a familiar online story and dig deeper into it with a real book — and vice versa. Kyle was already familiar with the Galactic Hot Dogs because it is an island within the popular online game, Poptropica, created by Jeff Kinney, author of the genius Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, so he was very excited to dive into this book series.

Cool Comic Style Graphics and Humor

This makes for easy, engaging and really fun reading for anyone – reluctant readers or bookworms! Kids love this style for books and we’ve found in our household it is the best way to get my little boy reading!

Digital Aspects with Poptropica 

Kids are OBSESSED with the online game Poptropica. My 8 year old and 10 year old love it so much — and Mom loves that it really makes kids think, problem solve, and even do lots of reading along the way as they are playing the game on the computer. The Galactic Hot Dogs is actually one of the islands WITHIN Poptropica so my kids think that is super neat!

Why Kids Love The Galactic Hot Dogs Books

As you can tell, the Galactic Hot Dog books — as well as the digital experience found on Funbrain.com and Poptropica are a great way to get kids 8-14 excited about reading. Love it!

Here’s Kyle loving the 1st book in the Galactic Hot Dog series. It’s great for kids to take a familiar online story and dig deeper into it with a real book — and vice versa. Kyle was already familiar with the Galactic Hot Dogs because it is an island within the popular online game, Poptropica, created by Jeff Kinney, author of the genius Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.

Official Synopsis of Book 2: Galactic Hot Dogs: The Wiener Strikes Back

What could go better with wieners than a flying space circus? Nothing! That’s why Humphree’s all jazzed up to sell Galactic Hot Dogs as the official food of Crostini’s Cosmic Carnival and Wonder Circus train. Cosmoe’s not entirely convinced—but once his skills as a monster tamer are unveiled, the deal is done and the Neon Wiener is officially hooked onto the train. Only things aren’t quite what they seem at this circus, and pretty soon Cosmoe realizes he and his buddies are in more danger than ever. To get to the bottom of it all, they have to travel somewhere pretty familiar, providing a glimpse at last into Cosmoe’s past and how he ended up aboard the Wiener in the first place.

PRICE: $13.95
