Reception=
Jo Clarke in her review for Book Report said that "this was one of the funniest books I have ever read!" and that "Middle school kids will enjoy this book because it is so typical of their language, actions, and ideas.".[1] The Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy said that "the book is filled with jokes for an adult audience rather than one comprised of middle schooler. These are jokes that desperately wish to be funny but the book produces only one that would be considered genuinely amusing to its demographic." and that "No More Dead Dogs had serious potential to be a better book than the writing produced."[2]
